Afterward, we continue the journey to the Pueblo Magico of Izamal, where we stop for lunch. Later, we visit the Kinich Kakmo Pyramid, one of the largest structures in the region, offering a panoramic view of the “Yellow City” from its summit. The tour concludes with a visit to the San Antonio de Padua Convent, built in the 16th century over an ancient Maya platform and renowned for its vast porticoed atrium.

A second day dedicated to discovering ancient henequen haciendas, Puuc Maya architecture, and cenotes surrounded by jungle.

Activities: The day begins with a transfer from Merida to visit the Yaxcopoil Hacienda, where we tour this ancient henequen complex that preserves machinery, rooms, and spaces showing the history of “green gold” production on the peninsula.

Subsequently, we continue to the Uxmal archaeological zone, one of the most representative complexes of the Puuc architectural style. During the visit, we explore its main buildings, including the Magician’s Pyramid, the Nuns’ Quadrangle, and the Governor’s Palace, known for their detailed stone mosaics.
