Overview

As if getting early access to Chichen Itza—one of the New 7 Wonders of the World—wasn’t enough, this small-group tour from Playa del Carmen also includes Ek Balam, another major Mayan archeological site, and a cooling dip in a cenote. Add to that a freshly prepared regional lunch and you’ve got the ultimate cultural day out in Mexico.
