Overview

Discover two very different cenote environments alongside the ancient Maya world of Chichén Itzá. At Cenote Xkeken, descend into an underground cavern surrounded by limestone formations and clear freshwater. Continue to Cenote Samulá, where tree roots extend through the natural opening above the cavern and sunlight reaches the turquoise water below.

Between these natural experiences, explore Chichén Itzá with an expert guide and discover its iconic Maya architecture, including the Temple of Kukulcán and other important structures. A brief stop in Valladolid offers a glimpse of Yucatán’s colonial heritage before continuing the journey.

After a full day of history, cenotes, and local culture, relax on the way back to Cancun and enjoy a comfortable return to your hotel.
