Activity itinerary

Templo de Kukulkan

  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
El Castillo, the iconic pyramid of Chichén Itzá, is a testament to Maya ingenuity and dedication to the feathered serpent god Kukulkán. Designed to represent the Maya calendar, it features 365 steps, symbolising the days of the year, with each of the pyramid’s four sides holding 91 steps.

The Ball Court In Uxmal

  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
The Great Ball Court is the largest and best-preserved in all of Mesoamerica, where the Maya played Pok-a-Tok, a ritual ballgame symbolising the struggle between light and darkness.

Sacred Cenote

  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
The Sacred Cenote is one of Chichén Itzá’s most revered spots, a deep sinkhole believed by the Maya to connect the living world with the underworld and the rain god Chaac. The name Chichén Itzá itself, meaning “at the mouth of the well of the Itzá,” reflects its sacred significance.

Warriors' Temple

  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
This is one of Chichén Itzá’s most impressive power centers - a massive temple complex filled with warrior carvings, sacred serpents, and the famous Chacmool statues.

El Caracol

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
El Caracol is a fascinating Maya observatory, designed with a circular tower for tracking celestial events. The structure’s alignment, especially with Venus, played a key role in Maya rituals, warfare, and prophecy.
