What to expect
Cult Chichen Itza: heritage of Mesoamerica
At the sacred complex, you will discover priceless cultural and historical wealth left by ancient civilizations to their descendants. I will tell you what Chichen Itza means for all of Mesoamerica; how the histories of the Maya and the Toltecs intertwined; what happened in the Yucatan during the Mayapan League era. Near the famous Kukulkan pyramid, the Temples of the Warriors and the Jaguar, you will touch the world of rich mythology and ancient secrets. We will also talk about the symbolism of ancient rituals - sports games, sacrifices - and ways to understand the nature of the surrounding world.
Coba - one of the oldest and largest Maya cities
On the trip, you will visit another important archaeological site, where you can climb one of the tallest ancient structures in Yucatan, the Nohoch Mul pyramid. Here you will learn about one of the cultural-religious centers of antiquity, a significant socio-political center of the region, and the mysteries left by the intricate network of roads with ruins of magnificent structures.
Tequila factory and cenote swimming
A pleasant addition to the program will be a visit to a factory, where you will get acquainted with the production of the traditional alcoholic beverage of Mexico. Additionally, you will discover one of the most beautiful cenotes on the peninsula, where you can admire the unearthly shades of its landscapes and bathe in the transparent water body, where there are no crowds of other travelers eager for Yucatan's exoticism.
🥘 There will be a lunch stop at one of the nice local establishments in the middle of the day.
