Private Tour to Chichen Itza

Escape the cruise line crowds on this private tour to one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, Chichén Itzá, perhaps the most famous Mayan temple city.

After meeting your guide on the pier, you will board your air-conditioned transportation for the approximately two-hour drive to Chichén Itzá located in the middle of the Yucatan Peninsula. Chichén Itzá rose to local prominence somewhere around 600 A.D. As the Mayan civilization in Central America began to decline around 900 A.D. Chichén Itzá became a major capital for political, sociocultural, economic, and ideological life in the northern Mayan lowlands.

Upon arrival you will set out with your private guide to explore the mysteries of Chichén Itzá. At the heart of the city lies the Temple of Kukulkan, the most recognized and photographed of the pyramids. Your guide will explain how its measurements relate to digits in the Mayan solar calendar, as well as its position.

During your approximately two hours of touring, you will also view the Observatory, as well as the Ball Court and Sacred Well.

After your tour, you will have some free time to freshen up and purchase a drink or snack before starting the approximately two-hour drive back to the cruise pier in Progreso.
