Itinerary - Yucatán Discovery: from Chichén Itzá to Caribbean bliss

Roundtrip flights or transportation to reach the destination are not included in the package, so you can decide from where and when you want to leave! This gives you complete freedom of choice.

Upon arrival, check in to our hotel in Cancun and get ready to discover the city's vibrant nightlife. We'll kick off the tour with a group dinner, indulging in delicious tacos, guacamole and of course (for those who drink) - tequila! Cheers to the start of an unforgettable journey!

We hit the road early, leaving Cancun behind as we head toward Merida, but not without making a stop at one of the New Seven Wonders of the World—Chichén Itzá. With a private guide leading the way, we dive into the mysteries of this ancient Maya city, standing in awe before the towering El Castillo pyramid and the legendary Great Ball Court.  

After soaking up history, it’s time to cool off—literally! We swap ruins for refreshment at Yokdzonot Cenote, where crystal-clear waters invite us for a well-earned swim in this hidden natural pool. Fully recharged, we continue to Merida, where a charming 4-star hotel awaits. A good night’s rest is in order—tomorrow, the adventure continues!

On Day 3, we’ll have a full day of exciting activities to choose from as we explore the best of Merida and its surroundings. We can start by visiting the incredible Uxmal ruins, a stunning Mayan archaeological site, followed by a relaxing Temazcal steam bath for a rejuvenating experience.

For those looking to combine nature with history, we’ll head to the Celestún Biosphere Reserve, where we’ll see vibrant pink flamingos and other wildlife, before continuing on to Hacienda Yaxcopoil, a historic plantation that reveals the region’s agricultural past.

If we’re in the mood for a coastal adventure, we can make our way to Progreso, where we’ll kayak through the peaceful mangroves of Corchito. Alternatively, we can unwind at Chuburná Beach, enjoying the breeze and swinging on the beach swings.

As the day draws to a close, we’ll bask in the tranquility of the evening, knowing that the memories made will linger, carrying us into the night with a sense of wonder and anticipation for what tomorrow will bring.

Today, we begin our journey from the charming city of Merida to the laid-back paradise of Tulum. Along the way, we have a couple of exciting options: first, Valladolid–a stop in this picturesque Pueblo Mágico offers a glimpse into the heart of traditional Yucatan life, with vibrant streets, colonial architecture, and a relaxed vibe perfect for a short wander.

Second–Coba Archaeological Site: dive into history as we explore the ancient ruins of Coba, where towering pyramids and impressive structures await. For a more immersive experience, we may consider renting a bike to cycle through the broad site and uncover the secrets of this once-thriving Mayan city.

In the afternoon, we’ll arrive in Tulum, where turquoise waters and sandy beaches welcome us to this stunning coastal haven. Time to relax and take in the beauty of the Riviera Maya!

We kick off the day with a fascinating visit to the Tulum archaeological site, where we'll explore ancient Mayan ruins set against the stunning backdrop of the Caribbean Sea. With entrance fees and a local guide included, we'll dive into the history of this spectacular site and learn about the civilization that once thrived here.

Next, we head to Akumal for an unforgettable snorkeling experience. With crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life, this is the perfect spot to swim with sea turtles and explore the underwater world.

In the afternoon, we take a scenic transfer to Playa del Carmen, where we'll unwind and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of this lively coastal town. 

Today, we embrace the freedom to explore Playa del Carmen at our own pace. Whether we find ourselves wandering the lively streets of Quinta Avenida, sinking our toes into the soft sands of the beach, or savoring the flavours of local delicacies, today is a moment to connect with the essence of this place and with one another! As the day unfolds, we’ll come together, sharing stories of our discoveries, basking in the warmth of the sun and the vibrant atmosphere around us. 

The night is ours to make, whether we choose to revel in the local nightlife or reflect on our journey together in a more peaceful moment. Whatever we choose, this day is a reminder of the bonds we've formed and the memories we’ve created along the way.

Check-out and goodbye – until your next WeRoad adventure!
