BRIEF ITINERARY
Day 1 Arrive Cancún: Arrive in Cancún at any time.
Day 2-3 Valladolid / Chichén Itzá (2B): Step back in time as you explore the Mayan ruins of Tulúm after visiting the "Crocozoo". Still feeling energetic? Visit the local cenotes (underground caves) or fly through the jungle on an optional zipline excursion. Arrive early the following day at Chichén Itzá and explore this popular ancient ruin site before the crowds arrive.
Day 4-5 Mérida (2B): Travel to the state capital of Mérida via Izamal, a historic town known as 'the city of three cultures.' Be sure to visit the Franciscan convent and the Kinich Kakmo Mayan pyramid. The following day is free to choose from one of the many available options, including a trip to Progreso Beach, spotting flamingos at Celestún Bird Sanctuary or exploring the major Mayan site of Uxmal.
Day 6-7 Isla Hol Box (2B): Discover the Caribbean jewel of Hol Box Island. Enjoy a half day trip to Yaxahal, a beautiful swimming hole and natural spring. Rent a bike or golf cart, take a swim in the long shallow beach or play basketball with the locals. There are plenty of exciting activities to keep you busy; in the right season (June to August) you can even spot whale sharks.
Day 8-9 Isla Mujeres (2B, 1L): Make a quick stop back on the mainland before heading off to stunning Isla Mujeres, a small idyllic sandy island just off the coast from Cancún. Enjoy a full day trip to Isla Contoy.
