Lunch
Manuel (Führer) und Jorge (Fahrer) haben die Teilnehmer zwar sehr früh abgeholt und wenn jemand Probleme hat so früh aus dem Bett zu kommen sollte er sich das genau überlegen. 05.15 Uhr sind wirklich sehr früh aber der klare Vorteil ist das man zu den ersten Gruppen gehört die bei Chicken Itza und der Cenote Tsukan ankommt. Dabei vermeidet man auch die ganzen Händler die im Laufe des Tages eintrudeln. Tsukan sollte man kein kristallklares Wasser erwarten, die Cenote liegt mitten im Dschungel.
A duo of Mexican delights await on this full day tour from Cancun. The adventure begins at the break of dawn with a journey to experience the wonder of Chichen Itza, a UNESCO-listed ancient Maya city. Then, wind down with a swim in a natural underground cenote cave. Hugo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The early start is worth it – we'll arrive first thing in the morning to experience the magic of the ruins in the soft sunlight and beat the heat'.
A guided tour of the ruined city reveals the stories of this remarkable site. It's not hard to imagine the daily lives of the community that lived here and built these impressive monuments. After the guided tour, enjoy free time to make the most of exploring this archaeological treasure trove as you wish. Hugo adds, ‘This ancient city isn't just about admiring the grandeur of El Castillo, but also about feeling the pulse of the Maya civilization that thrived here centuries ago. Don't miss the Great Ball Court—imagine the echoes of the past as players competed in this very spot.'
Next, you'll be whisked away to Cenote Tsukán. Cenotes are believed by the Maya to be portals to the underworld, and they are revered in traditional culture. Here, you will plunge into the limpid waters, participate in a traditional ceremony and feel your senses awaken in glorious natural surroundings. Afterwards, you'll enjoy a tasty local lunch, savouring the flavours of regional cuisine prepared with fresh, local ingredients.
