Tour description

Head away from the big tourist resorts that some of the Maya Riviera coast is known for, and head inland and North; there is a rich culture filled with history and wild nature. This suggested tour includes a mixture of Mayan ruins and cenotes with two historical towns, finishing with an exceptional, yet less known, kitesurf / Wingfoil beach in El Cuyo, right up in the very North.

As with all these tours, they are tailor-made just for you, so this is just an example. Please speak to one of our Mexico travel experts to start planning your Mexico adventure.

Days 1 - 3

Kania

5* The St. Regis Kanai Resort, Riviera Maya

Breakfast

To start your trip, we recommend taking a couple of days to acclimatise after your flight in a unique spot called Kania, just 45 minutes from Cancun airport. Here, you can choose between the adult-only 5* Maya Edition Luxury resort or the stunning 5* St Regis Kania, which is better for families. Both of these properties are set next to each other, deep inside a huge mangrove forest on a stunning beach.

Days 3 - 4

Chichen Itza and Valladolid

4* Hotel Boutique Olbil, Valladolid

Breakfast

Today, you will start an unforgettable journey through the ancient Mayan civilization with a guided tour of Chichén Itzá, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, around 2 hours from Kania. Immerse yourself in this iconic archaeological site's rich history and culture, surrounded by stunning landscapes and fascinating ruins. Your adventure begins with a convenient pick-up from your hotel by your private guide, with a driver and private vehicle. First, visit a traditional Mayan village, where you'll participate in a Mayan healing ceremony guided by a local shaman.

Next, spend approximately 2.5 hours exploring the ancient ruins of Chichén Itzá. Marvel at its famous structures, such as the Temple of Kukulcán, the Ball Court, and the Observatory, as your certified bilingual guide shares intriguing insights into Mayan history, culture, and architecture. After the guided tour, enjoy some free time to wander the site at your own pace, snap photos, and absorb the magnificence of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. To refresh, take a dip in the stunning Cenote Saamal, a natural sinkhole with crystal-clear waters. Spend time swimming, relaxing, and taking in the serene surroundings.

Chichén Itzá is on the outskirts of the small historical town of Valladolid, where you will spend the night in a small boutique hotel. There are some superb places to eat out in Valladolid. Otherwise, your hotel also has a great small restaurant.

Days 4 - 7

Merida

4* KAHAL Boutique Hotel, Merida

Breakfast

After a superb breakfast, you will have a few hours to explore Valladolid. The main areas to explore are close to your hotel, so it is easy. A private city guide can be provided if needed, but this part of Valladolid is very easy to explore and not that big.

The next stop is the town of Merida, around 2 hours from Valladolid. Mérida, the capital of the Mexican state of Yucatán, is a vibrant city that blends colonial charm, Mayan heritage, and a lively cultural scene. Known as the "White City" for its clean streets and buildings, Mérida offers a rich experience for travelers looking to explore the history, culture, and local flavors.

There is a lot to see and do in and around this historic town, as well as many exceptional restaurants, a highlight of this area. We recommend 3 nights here to make the most of the town itself and include a couple of day tours outside the town. Each night it is good to choose one of the many restaurants that are a short walk from your hotel

Included in this tour is a half-day city tour, but other additional tours include:

Mayan World Museum of Mérida (Gran Museo del Mundo Maya). A must-visit for insights into Mayan history, culture, and artifacts.
Lucas de Gálvez Market . Dive into the local culture by exploring stalls selling fresh produce, handicrafts, and Yucatecan street food.
Cenotes Near Mérida . Swim in crystal-clear underground pools like Cenote Xlacah (at Dzibilchaltún) or the cenotes in the Cuzamá area.

Days 7 - 12

El Cuyo

4* Boutique El Cuyo, El Cuyo

Breakfast

Ready for some amazing Kitesurfing or Wingfoiling? Your next stop is the small, quiet village of El Cuyo, home to some of the best Kitesurfing and Wingfoiling in the Yucatan. El Cuyo is special as it is relatively little known as of yet, and there are some fantastic new small hotels a stone's throw from a beautiful Kite and Wing beach. The wind here is super reliable from November to May. El Cuyo it is a hidden gem set away from the mass tourism of Holbox, Tulum or Cancun.

We recommend a minimum of 5 nights here.
