What you will be doing
Recently selected as one of the New World Wonders, Chichén Itzá is without a doubt one of the most spectacular and important archaeological sites of the Yucatan peninsula and Mesoamerica. The Maya-Toltec style, which can be appreciated in Chichén Itzá, is the result of the cultural exchange between the different cultures of Mesoamerica. The excellent restoration of this ancient city makes it an absolute must-see destination for any visitor to the Yucatan peninsula interested in history and culture.
Have a delicious regional meal in a beautiful restaurant
Valladolid is a city where past and present come together to delight us with astounding sights of beautifully coloured colonial architecture and tastes of an incredibly rich gastronomy. A visit to the main square of the town will absorb you in the peace and tranquility of its people while you learn about the local customs. After all, we cool off in an impressive cenote (flooded cave) where nature and mysticism will bring you to a whole new dimension. After taking this tour, you can definitely say you've been to Mexico!

We also have a recycling and composting programme.
