Suggested Itinerary
Welcome to Cancun, a Mexican city known for its beaches, numerous resorts, and nightlife! Upon arrival, you will be greeted at the airport and then transferred to your hotel for check-in.

After breakfast, you will first visit Coba, which is situated just two hours outside of Cancun and once was one of the most prominent ancient Mayan sites in the Yucatan Peninsula. Walk along the stone causeways to explore temples yet unrestored and hidden in the thick rainforest and the bravest ones will be able to climb the great pyramid of Nohoch Mul. Continue to Valladolid and make a short visit to the Cathedral of Saint Bernardino. After the tour, head to Merida for overnight.

Spend the whole morning exploring the archaeological site of Uxmal, another large Mayan ruin located 80 km south of Merida. The details of the main buildings including the House of the Magician, the Nunnery Quadrangle, and the House of Turtles will give you a deep understanding of Puuc-style architecture.
Return to Merida and explore the city on your own in the afternoon.
