This shared tour of Chichen Itza and EkBalam offers an early-morning departure for a comprehensive exploration of the archaeological site prior to the arrival of large crowds. Our knowledgeable guide provides insights into the culture and history of these ancient Maya cities.
Upon arrival at Chichen Itza, visitors may commence an informative tour lasting two hours, which encompasses a comprehensive exploration of the ancient structures including La Iglesia, Las Monjas, the Observatory, and one of the two cenotes nestled within the archaeological site. This journey allows individuals to appreciate the architectural marvels of this historical landmark, such as the Kukulkan Pyramid (also known as El Castillo), featuring its iconic serpent-like staircase leading to the temple's summit. Additionally, the walk through the Kukukkan Castle offers insights into the rich cultural heritage of this region, with its numerous columns and intricate carvings serving as silent narrators of Maya civilization.
The total duration allocated for exploring Chichen Itza stands at approximately two and a half hours, comprising a guided tour lasting one hour forty-five minutes and additional free time of forty-five minutes, during which visitors have ample opportunity to capture memorable photographs, engage in self-guided explorations, or purchase souvenirs according to personal preference.
Notably, visitors should also make a detour to the nearby Cenote Chukum, a unique underwater cenote offering a serene environment for swimming amidst towering stalactites. Following this aquatic experience, participants may indulge in a regional buffet lunch at the Cenote restaurant, further enhancing their post-visit enjoyment.
Further north lies Coba, another significant Mayan archaeological site concealed among dense jungles. Located approximately one hour distant from Tulum, Coba boasts the tallest pyramid in Yucatán, symbolizing the pinnacle of pre-Columbian architecture. Guided tours offer visitors an opportunity to explore various structures, learn about their respective histories, and understand how Coba played a pivotal role within the broader framework of Mayan culture and society.
