Itinerary
-
1Riviera Maya
The experience begins in Playa del Carmen and Riviera Maya with morning pickup and check-in for the shared transportation. After travelers board and the group is organized, the route heads inland toward Yucatan and the Chichen Itza region. This first part of the day is the transition from the Caribbean coast to a route shaped by archaeology, cenote waters, local food, and colonial scenery.
3 hours • Admission ticket free -
2Chichen Itza
Before arriving at the archaeological site, the route may include a short stop near points of interest close to Chichen Itza. Once the group reaches the area, travelers will continue with the guides toward the entrance for the main cultural visit of the day. Inside Chichen Itza, the guided portion lasts approximately 1 hour. The guide will explain the site’s history, architectural details, myths, cultural value, and importance within the ancient Maya world. After the guided visit, travelers will have about 1 hour of free time to walk through the site independently, take photos, visit souvenir areas, or purchase a drink or snack before meeting the group again.
3 hours • Admission ticket free -
3Suytun Cenote
After Chichen Itza, the tour continues toward Suytun Cenote. The drive from the archaeological area takes approximately 45 minutes. This stop introduces a different side of the day, replacing stone temples and open plazas with cool freshwater and one of Yucatan’s most recognizable cenote settings. Cenotes had deep significance for the ancient Maya and were often associated with sacred beliefs and the underworld. At Suytun, travelers will have time to swim, enjoy the clear water, and experience a unique natural setting in the peninsula.
1 hour 30 minutes • Admission ticket free -
4Cenote Ik kil
The second cenote stop takes place at Ik Kil, a well-known natural site surrounded by tall rock walls, hanging vegetation, and a dramatic open-air atmosphere. Travelers will have approximately 45 minutes to swim and enjoy the refreshing water. Near Ik Kil, the experience also includes a buffet lunch with regional dishes and traditional Mexican flavors. This meal stop gives travelers time to eat, rest, and recharge before continuing toward the final visit of the day.
1 hour 30 minutes • Admission ticket free -
5Valladolid
The final stop is Valladolid, a colonial city in Yucatan known for its colorful streets, relaxed rhythm, local traditions, and charming architecture. Travelers will have approximately 30 to 45 minutes of free time to walk around, take photos, enjoy the surroundings, and experience the local character of one of the region’s most representative historic towns.
1 hour • Admission ticket free -
6Riviera Maya
After the visit to Valladolid, travelers will board the transportation again and begin the return journey toward Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya.

The tour concludes once travelers arrive at their confirmed drop-off points.

Travelers who need to bring luggage must contact us in advance so the transportation setup can be reviewed. Space is limited, and authorization is subject to the operation of the day. Approval should never be assumed.
- Since April 21, 2026, archaeological sites in Mexico have applied security rules that restrict entry with backpacks, luggage, and similar belongings.

Although our team will always try to keep the ride comfortable, no exact vehicle or seat can be reserved, blocked, or guaranteed.
- If you are traveling with friends, relatives, or another group under a different booking, please notify us before the tour date if you would like to travel together. When all travelers depart from the same accommodation, our team may try to coordinate the request, although it is not guaranteed.

Reservations departing from different cities cannot be coordinated in the same vehicle.
- This tour only includes pickup from the cities and zones listed in the Transportation section of the product. Travelers cannot join the experience directly at Chichen Itza, at any attraction on the itinerary, or at any location outside the approved pickup coverage. For example, arriving at Chichen Itza in your own vehicle to meet the group is not permitted. Pickup from a hotel within the listed service area, such as Moon Palace Resort, may be possible depending on the coverage shown for the tour. For safety, communication, and proper organization, every traveler must meet our team in the morning at the assigned pickup point, board the official transportation, and complete the required check-in process before the tour begins.

From Monday to Saturday, the cutoff time is 21:50 hrs, GMT-5. On Sundays, the cutoff time is 8:00 PM, GMT-5. The information may be sent through any available contact channel. After the cutoff time, last-minute pickup arrangements can no longer be processed. If the required hotel or meeting point is not received on time, the reservation will automatically move to the next available date. This change has no additional cost, fee, or penalty. However, once the automatic rescheduling has been applied, the booking will no longer be eligible for a refund.
- The durations shown in the itinerary describe the full time assigned to each segment of the route. These times may include transportation between locations, the visit itself, activity time, boarding, organization, and the time needed to continue or return along the itinerary. They should not be interpreted as the exact amount of time spent only inside each attraction. Please use the itinerary as an approximate guide to the overall flow of the day.
- Our team works to keep the experience as close as possible to the planned schedule. However, the timing of the tour also depends on guests being ready at pickup and returning on time at every stop. Traffic, road conditions, and route-related delays may also affect the schedule and are outside our control. Please follow the meeting times indicated by the guide and respect the time assigned at each location. Even a very small delay can accumulate during the day and affect the rest of the operation.
