What You’ll See at Chichen Itza
The site is expansive and historically significant. Highlights typically include:
El Castillo (Temple of Kukulcán)
The central pyramid and most photographed structure at Chichen Itza. Its design reflects the Maya understanding of astronomy and seasonal cycles.

The largest ball court in Mesoamerica, known for its scale and unique acoustics.

Your guide provides historical context and cultural background, helping you understand how the city functioned between 600–1200 AD.
The Cenote Stop
After exploring the ruins, most tours include a visit to a nearby cenote.
Cenotes are freshwater sinkholes unique to the Yucatán Peninsula. This stop offers:
• Time to swim

Life vests are typically available.
Duration & Structure
• Early morning departure
• Approximately 2–3 hours at the archaeological site

This is a full-day commitment, so comfortable clothing and hydration are important.
Who This Experience Is Best For
