Stop At: Chichen Itza, Chichen Itza, Yucatan Peninsula
Our first stop is Chichen Itza. We’ll arrive at about opening time so besides having the archaeological site for your own you’ll also avoid the heat. A multilingual certified guide (+- 1 1/2hrs) will explain you about the Itzáes, the ancient inhabitants of Chichén Itzá, their impressive 30m/98ft high Castle of Kukulcán (and its solar calendar reflected in it), the largest Ball Court in Mesoamerica and the Temple of the Warriors.
After the guided visit you’ll have +- 1hr free time.

This yellow city with its 16th century convent constructed on a Mayan pyramid and having the second largest atrium in the world, is one of the first Magical Towns of Mexico.
