Travel Designer Review:

Eddie

I lived in Merida for a few months with the aim of exploring the area, which is an incredible place. I recommend renting a car to do this itinerary in which we will see pyramids, cenotes, the sea, nature, haciendas and we will taste delicious food.

Gift.
Secret information: upon booking this itinerary the Travel Designer reveals additional information with tips.

After breakfast, head to Chichen Itza. To make the most of your visit and avoid the crowds, I recommend sleeping near the ruins and arriving as early as possible. The site opens at 8 am, and being there early will allow you to discover the archaeological site calmly and with fewer tourists around. Try to arrive 15 to 20 minutes before opening.

As one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Chichen Itza is a fascinating place to explore. Before your visit, I recommend reading up on the history of the site to fully appreciate the significance of what you're seeing.

After your visit to Chichen Itza, we'll head to Izamal for lunch. Izamal is a charming town known for its yellow buildings and colonial architecture. It's a great place to relax and explore at your leisure, with plenty of restaurants, shops, and historic landmarks to see.

The rest of the day is free for you to explore Izamal or simply relax and enjoy the town's laid-back atmosphere. 

At the end of the day continue to Merida to find your hotel and finish the day with a delicious dinner

To all who book one of my itineraries with this activity I will share with you one of my favorite cenotes in Yucatán that you can visit on this day. Also additional advice to visit Chichen Itza.

Detail

Embark on an unforgettable journey! We invite you to enjoy a brief but intense week in the dazzling Yucatán Peninsula, a region so rich in wonders that it will make you wish to explore it month after month.

Start your adventure in Playa del Carmen, a perfect place to set as your starting point thanks to its excellent location. It will be the nerve center of your exploration, allowing you to immerse yourself in the charms of the place.

Spend two days in Playa del Carmen; the first to rest and familiarize yourself with the magic of the town, and the second for an exciting excursion to the island of Cozumel. Feel the sea breeze and let yourself be enchanted by natural beauty.

Continue your journey to Chichen Itza, but why not make a stop to visit Tulum, Coba, and/or Valladolid? If you're feeling full of energy, you can immerse yourself in the history and culture of these three places in just one day. We suggest spending the night near Chichen Itza, allowing you to visit the impressive archaeological site early in the morning, thus avoiding crowds and the intense heat of the day.

The route doesn't end here. Move on to Mérida, where for two days you can explore the beauty of this city and some of the region's most outstanding places.

Don't miss the opportunity to live this unique and emotion-rich experience. The Yucatán Peninsula awaits you, filled with culture, history, and natural wonders. Are you ready for the adventure? Join us on this tour and discover what this corner of Mexico has to offer you!
