Chichen Itza
One of the New 7 World Wonders, Chichen Itza is located 200 km (127 miles) west of Cancun or a little over 2 hours from our resort. It is one of the most visited sites around Cancun due to its extraordinary architecture and beauty. The Pyramid of Kukulcan is the most impressive temple in Chichen Itza and is renowned for its 91 steps to the top. On this full day trip you will ride with an official bilingual guide via air conditioned motor coach to this remote location starting at 7AM in the morning. Lunch will be provided and it is suggested that you bring comfortable footwear, sunblock and a bathing suit/ towel. The cost for this adventure is $119 per person plus gratuities.
