Description

Get ready for an enriching adventure starting right at your Playa del Carmen hotel! Our minibus will take us to the fascinating archaeological site of Ek Balam, nestled in the heart of the Yucatan Peninsula near Uayma. During our guided tour, we'll uncover the intriguing Maya legacy, exploring the grand acropolis, majestic pyramids, and ancient ball game grounds.

Next, a refreshing escape awaits at a stunning Maya cenote called Chichikan, inviting you to dive into its crystal-clear waters. Then, we'll embrace the traditions of this ancient civilization through a captivating demonstration of Maya customs and beliefs.

After recharging our energy with a delicious buffet lunch, we'll journey to the charming village of Uayma to marvel at the temple and former convent of Santo Domingo, dating back to the 17th century.

Our final stop is in Uayma, a small town where its majestic church and former convent of Santo Domingo de Guzman leave visitors in awe. Considered a Viceroyalty Jewel, we'll explore this town to discover the beauty of its streets, maua houses, and colonial houses.

After a fulfilling 12-hour adventure, we'll return to your hotel in Playa del Carmen. Get ready for a memorable day packed with history, culture, and natural wonders!
