The ruins of ancient Chichen Itza are a must-visit when in Cancun. This private tour lets you discover the site before the crowds arrive. Better still, you’ll explore the complex with one of our local experts, who’ll share in-depth knowledge with you. Argelia, one of our guides, says ‘You’ll learn about the calendars in the Temple of Kukulkan and its sacred staircase, where each equinox the shadows represent the descent of the feathered snake.’ Afterwards, you’ll enjoy a cenote swim and visit a Maya village for lunch.
It’s an early start so as to be the first to arrive at this UNESCO World Heritage Site – the perfect time to snap a few selfies. The stillness adds even more mystery to the magnificent Maya monuments. There’s the mighty Kukulkan Pyramid, the Temple of the Jaguars and the macabre Tzompantli, among many landmark sites. ‘The bas-reliefs that tell us about the magical beliefs inspired by their interpretation of the stars,’ says Argelia.
Next, head to an underground cenote for a swim in its clear waters. Then it’s on to the village for lunch. All the food is locally grown and prepared to traditional recipes. Argelia says, ‘You’ll taste typical Yucatecan food such as chaya empanadas, cochinita pibil, chicken in axiote rice and black beans and steamed vegetables.’ You’ll also see the locals show off their skills hand-weaving hammocks – an age-old craft – and find out how this cottage industry helps support the community.
