Lunch
Die frühe Ankunft an beiden Orten war wirklich toll. Kein drängen, Zeit für schöne Fotos - alles wunderbar. Nur ein Hinweis für Menschen mit körperlichen Einschränkungen: Bei der Cenote müssen 108 Stufen runtergelaufen werden. Es ist rutschig und es gibt kein Geländer. Es gibt jedoch genügend in der Anlage zu sehen, falls man das nicht schafft. Etwa ein Maya-Dorf mit Restaurant und Bar oder eine aufregende Tierwelt (Vorsicht Skorpione). Lieben Dank an Alfredo und Manuel :)
A duo of Mexican delights await on this full day tour from Cancun. The adventure begins at the break of dawn with a journey to experience the wonder of Chichen Itza, a UNESCO-listed ancient Maya city. Then, wind down with a swim in a natural underground cenote cave. Hugo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The early start is worth it – we'll arrive first thing in the morning to experience the magic of the ruins in the soft sunlight and beat the heat'.
A guided tour of the ruined city reveals the stories of this remarkable site. It's not hard to imagine the daily lives of the community that lived here and built these impressive monuments. After the guided tour, enjoy free time to make the most of exploring this archaeological treasure trove as you wish. Hugo adds, ‘This ancient city isn't just about admiring the grandeur of El Castillo, but also about feeling the pulse of the Maya civilization that thrived here centuries ago. Don't miss the Great Ball Court—imagine the echoes of the past as players competed in this very spot.'
Next, you'll be whisked away to Cenote Tsukán. Cenotes are believed by the Maya to be portals to the underworld, and they are revered in traditional culture. Here, you will plunge into the limpid waters, participate in a traditional ceremony and feel your senses awaken in glorious natural surroundings. Afterwards, you'll enjoy a tasty local lunch, savouring the flavours of regional cuisine prepared with fresh, local ingredients.
