Description

On this excursion to Tulum from Cancun we'll visit one of the great pre-Columbian areas of the Mexican Caribbean. We'll also visit a Mayan village, where you can swim in a sacred cenote, an unforgettable experience!

Description

From your hotel in Cancun, where we'll pick you up at the designated time, we'll drive south to Tulum. This pre-Columbian site on the shores of the Caribbean is considered one of the most important Maya sites on the Yucatan coast.

We'll start our guided tour of Tulum by visiting the main sacred monuments of the complex. Among them is the Temple of the Frescoes, decorated with beautiful stuccoes on its walls. We'll also enter the Temple of the Descending God to learn about the history of this revered Maya deity.

The tour of the Tulum site will continue onto another great monument of the archaeological site. This is El Castillo, an impressive construction from which there are beautiful views of the Caribbean Sea.

After enjoying the panoramic views, we'll leave Tulum behind and continue the excursion to a Mayan village. We'll be welcomed by the inhabitants, who will explain their customs and traditions. We'll also enjoy a handmade tortilla workshop led by the locals as they tell us about their ancestral foods.

After the workshop, you'll have an hour free to take a refreshing swim in the village's cenote, its turquoise waters will leave you speechless.

Once you've dried off from your resting dip we'll make our way back to Cancun– arrival is scheduled 5.5 to 7 hours after departure.

Fuimos un grupo reducido y aunque éramos los únicos españoles la guía Anitta se adecuó a todos e hizo un trabajo inmejorable junto con el conductor Nestor que estuvo puntual y atento. La experiencia merece muchísimo la pena y fuimos a Tulum antes de que se llenara de gente, cosa que agradecimos. Anitta es muy cercana y conocer la aldea, a su gente y bañarnos en su cenote fue mágico. 100% recomendada. Pd: Anitta te queremos. Translate this opinion into English.

We were a small group and although we were the only Spaniards, the guide Anitta adapted to everyone and did an unbeatable job together with the driver Nestor who was punctual and attentive. The experience is very worth it and we went to Tulum before it was full of people, which we were grateful for. Anitta is very close and getting to know the village, its people and bathing in its cenote was magical. 100% recommended. PS: Anitta we love you. Opinion translated. Show original.

Una visita muy completa e interesantes. Muy trabajada por parte de Ania la informacion y complementándola con hipotéticas imágenes de lo que fue, reconstruyendo en nuestra imaginación semejantes arquitecturas de la época. Atenta a cada apreciación y amable con la explicación e intervenciones que haciamos interactuando con nosotros. Respecto a la aldea Maya destaca sin duda la hospitalidad y cariño con la que la reciben y por tanto, nos tratan también a nosotros. Un gustoso placer. Translate this opinion into English.

A very complete and interesting visit. The information is well worked out by Ania and complemented with hypothetical images of what it was, reconstructing in our imagination similar architectures of the time. Attentive to each appreciation and kind with the explanation and interventions that we did interacting with us. Regarding the Mayan village, the hospitality and affection with which they receive it stands out without a doubt, and therefore, they also treat us. A tasty pleasure. Opinion translated.
