Itinerary
Welcome to Merida, Mexico! The capital of Yucatan, also known as the "White City," is filled with colonial charm, interesting museums, and fabulous food.
Tonight, try your first taste of Yucatan cuisine! The most popular dish is cochinita pibil, slow-roasted pork flavored with citrus and annatto seeds, which gives the dish its signature burnt orange color.
In the morning, get a crash course on Yucatan cuisine and try some of the most famous dishes and snacks! Melding traditional Mayan and European flavors, Yucatan food is not the typical burritos and tacos when you think of Mexican food. On this tour, visit a loc...
Today, enjoy your tour to three different cenotes with lunch. After you return, explore Merida at your leisure! Roam around the roomy halls and courtyard of the Palacio de Gobierno (Governor's Building), built in the late 1800s. From the balcony, you will have excellent views of San Ildefonso Cathedral.
Say goodbye to Merida as you transfer to Cancun. On the way, stop and enjoy a tour of Chichen Itza, the world-famous complex of Mayan ruins! This UNESCO site is an impressive engineering feat.
Arrive at your all-inclusive resort in Cancun and enjoy your first night in Mexico's beach playground.
The next two days are yours to spend at leisure in Cancun! After a hearty breakfast at your resort, consider visiting the Maya Museum, which holds one of Yucatan's most important collections of Maya artifacts. Besides a museum, there is an archaeological site w...
Today, consider taking a day trip to Isla Mujeres (Island of Women), an island about eight miles off the coast of Cancun. The crushed-coral beaches are some of the most beautiful in Mexico, while the calm turquoise water is practically heaven on earth! The 4-mile long island is manageable enough for a day trip and is a 20-minute ferry ride from Cancun.
Your Yucatan adventure ends today. After breakfast this morning, depart for Cancun Airport for your flight home.
