Activity itinerary

Tulum Archaeological Site
  • 4h 30m
We will pick up tourists at their respective hotels. Later, we will go to Tulum, with a 2-hour journey. Our first stop will be in Tulum, the ancient Mayan city located on a cliff overlooking the Mexican Caribbean Sea. A specialised bilingual guide will share intriguing facts about the archaeological site, its historical relevance and the daily life of its inhabitants in its heyday. Learn about past cultures and theories about their disappearance. Here we will make a 90-minute visit. Afterwards, we will board the bus and head towards Cobá. The journey will last 1 hour.
Cueva Cenote Muul ichi Ts'ono'ot
  • 1h 45m
The next step includes a visit to Cenote Muul Ichi Ts'ono'ot. These cenotes, characteristic of the Yucatan Peninsula, are natural sinkholes in limestone caves that were sacred to the ancient Mayans. Afterwards, you'll enjoy an authentic regional buffet lunch to recharge your batteries. Next, we will go to the archaeological zone of Cobá, with a 45-minute journey.
Zona Arqueologica de Coba
  • 2h 50m
The Mayan ruins of Cobá, mostly still hidden under jungle foliage, are the site of the tallest pyramid in Yucatán. Climb to the top for jaw-dropping views. Listen to your guide recount the discovery of this site and admire the fusion between nature and man-made structures, as well as the links of the jungle with the ruins. We will enjoy a 1-hour visit. After concluding our exploration in Cobá, we will head to Playa del Carmen, with a journey of 1 hour and 45 minutes.
