Yucatan Landscapes: Pink Lagoons and Ancient Ruins

A first day dedicated to discovering the regions cenotes and the historical heritage of the Pueblo Magico of Valladolid.

Activities: The journey begins with a transfer from Merida toward Valladolid. On the way, we visit the Selva Maya cenote or the Chichikan cenote, where we have time to swim in crystalline waters and enjoy the natural surroundings. At the end of the activity, lunch is served.

Subsequently, we continue to Valladolid to check into the hotel and enjoy some free time. At night, we attend the video mapping show projected onto the facade of the San Bernardino de Siena Convent, where images and light narrate the history of the city and the region.

A second day dedicated to exploring an ancient Maya city and the natural landscapes of the northern coast of Yucatan.

Activities: The journey begins in Valladolid with a transfer to the Ek Balam archaeological zone. During the tour, we visit its main structures, including the imposing Acropolis, known for its well-preserved reliefs and sculptures, while offering a panoramic view from the top of the building.

Subsequently, we continue to Rio Lagartos, located within the Ria Lagartos Biosphere Reserve. On-site, we take a boat tour through the estuary to observe mangroves, birds, and local wildlife. During the activity, the traditional “Maya bath” is performed, applying mineral-rich clay to the skin before rinsing it off in the estuary waters. After the tour, we enjoy lunch.

Later, we transfer to Las Coloradas, where we take a tour of the tourist park aboard safari-style carts to see the pink lagoons formed by salt mining activity and observe the unique landscape of the area.
