Your itinerary:

Day 1: Arrival in Cancún

Day 2: Cancún - Valladolid - Chichen Itza - Mérida

Day 3: Mérida - Uxmal - Mérida

Day 4: Mérida - Tulum - drop off at hotel for extension

Day 1:

Welcome to Mexico! After collecting your luggage, make your way to the exit where a representative will be waiting to meet and greet you. Transfer to your located hotel, and get into a holiday frame of mind for your first night in Cancún, with plenty of nearby drinking and dining options.

Overnight stay at La Quinta Inn by Wyndham 4* or similar.

Day 2:

At the appointed time, your driver will pick you up to begin the adventure. You will start by visiting the colonial village of Valladolid, in the state of Yucatán. Enjoy the local specialities, visit the market and the main cathedral. The city is considered to be one of the "magic cities" of Mexico. Nearby, you may find cenotes open to visitors, so don't miss the chance to cool off with a swim.

When you arrive at Chichén Itzá, go straight to the ticket office for your tickets. Ask for a certified local guide, who can give you a tour in English. Chichen Itza is one of the most visited archaeological sites in Mexico, with over 2.6 million tourists per year. The site has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988 and is also considered one of the seven wonders of the modern world.

On the way back, ask your driver to make a quick stop in Izamal, the 'yellow city'. Next you will find the capital of the state of Yucatán, Mérida. Mérida was founded in 1542 by Montejo y León ("el Mozo") and is named after the city of Mérida in Extremadura, Spain.

For a brief period at the turn of the 20th century, Mérida was considered the city with the highest number of millionaires in the world. The result of this concentration of wealth is still visible today. Many large, elaborate houses still line the main avenue called Paseo de Montejo, although few are occupied today by individual families. Many of these houses have been restored and are now used as office buildings for banks and insurance companies. Your hotel is located in the city centre, so you don't need transport to enjoy a late afternoon stroll through the city.

Overnight stay at Casa del Balam 4* or Misión de Fray Diego 4* (or similar) in Mérida.

Day 3:

We advise you to take to the road early to reach Uxmal as soon as possible (to beat the heat and the crowds). Uxmal is an ancient Mayan city from the classical period, located in present-day Mexico. It is considered one of the most important archaeological sites of the Mayan culture, located in the Puuc region of the eastern Yucatán Peninsula, and is considered one of the most representative Mayan cities of the dominant architectural style in the region. It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in recognition of its importance. Nearby you can also find Kabah, another Puuc-style archaeological site to visit. Next to Uxmal, there are a few restaurants for lunch and also a cocoa museum, which is also worth a visit.

Overnight stay at Casa del Balam 4* or Misión de Fray Diego 4* (or similar) in Mérida.

Day 4:

From Mérida, you will return to the Maya Riviera via another famous site, called Tulúm. You will discover the ruins that are located on 12 metre high cliffs along the eastern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula on the Caribbean Sea, in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico.

Tulum was one of the last cities built and inhabited by the Maya; it was at its peak between the 13th and 15th centuries and managed to survive about 70 years after the Spanish began occupying Mexico.

At the end of the tour, return your hire care and enjoy a shared transfer to your hotel for the next part of your holiday.

You'll stay in the following accommodations throughout this tour which include the following:

On the first night of the tour, you will stay at La Quinta by Wyndham 4* (or similar) in Cancun followed by a stay at Casa del Balam 4* or Misión de Fray Diego 4* (or similar) in Mérida on the second and third night of this tour.

At each residence, you will stay in a comfortable and relaxing Standard Room.

Jump at the opportunity to meet crocodiles, dolphins, turtles, manatees, and many kinds of birds! Located on the East Coast of the Yucatán peninsula, Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to thousands of native species amidst stunning natural beauty. Take two tranquil boat trips and enjoy your guide's commentary on this unique natural attraction, information about its protected status, and fascinating facts about the endangered species who call this sublime habitat their home.
