About the tour
This exclusive experience takes you far beyond the typical tourist trail, granting you access to a protected archaeological zone that few visitors ever see, while directly supporting the local Maya community that preserves this sacred heritage.
Your private adventure begins early in the morning at Chichén Itzá, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Accompanied by a certified professional guide, you will explore the legendary city as it comes to life, learning about the science, mythology, and political power behind monuments like El Castillo, the Great Ball Court, and the ceremonial temples. You will discover how this carefully restored site once functioned as the heart of the Maya world.
Next, you will travel deep into the jungle to Yaxunah, a remote and largely untouched Maya city rarely open to the public. Here, a local Maya guide will lead you through towering pyramids, ancient plazas, and structures still embraced by the forest. This is archaeology as it truly feels raw, mysterious, and alive where every step brings you closer to how these cities were first rediscovered.
After exploring these sacred ruins, you will visit a beautiful cenote, where you can swim and refresh yourself in crystal-clear waters once considered holy by the Maya. To complete the experience, enjoy a traditional Mexican buffet, prepared with regional flavors and local ingredients.
This private journey blends world-class archaeology, living Maya culture, nature, and adventure, offering an unforgettable way to experience the true spirit of the Yucatán.
