Explore More, See More, Discover More, Enjoy More and have more FUN in this exclusive tour visiting the Chichen Itza Ruins and the Mayaland Hotel, the only hotel close enough to the archaeological zone that it has its own private entrance. Only with us can you travel in and out of the archaeological zone as many times as you please through the Mayaland Hotel private entrance.

ITINERARY:

Our excursion begins by picking up all passengers from one of three pickup points in the Mayan Riviera & Playa del Carmen area in a deluxe vehicle.

Once in Chichen Itza, we will arrive to the Mayaland Hotel where you will enjoy a light breakfast then head directly to the archaeological site through the Mayaland’s private entrance. A fresh bottle of water for the visit is also included. At the site, our certified tour guide will take you on a 1.5 hour tour to explore the secrets of ancient Mayans. Your guide will explain the historical significance of all the most important monuments before you can discover the site on your own.

Move at your own pace. Enjoy the sights, take pictures with El Castillo, or take a little time out to relax at one of the Mayaland Resort Pools before returning at your leisure through our private entrance. We welcome you to enjoy full use of our resort facilities: pools, restrooms, lounge chairs, gardens and more.

After the visit you are invited to have lunch at any of the Mayaland’s Gourmet Restaurants for a decadent 5 course meal including shrimp, steak, filet, fish, regional and international dishes paired with wine and your selection of soft drinks, bottled water and beer.

This tour departs from the lobby of the Mayaland hotel. Come uncover the mysteries hiding in the jungles of Chichen Itza. This area was the formerly camping area of the American Archaeologist Edward Herbert Thompson who dredged the Sacred Cenote of Chichen Itza from 1904 to 1910. This Tropical Forest area is called “The Thompson Rehollada” (sinkhole), an interesting place where ancient Mayan water collectors can be seen as you explore the sinkhole.

Your guide will point out native birds and animals as you travel through the jungle. Remember – because you will be in the middle of the jungle, bring long pants and bug repellent for this side trip.
