For those short on time, and interested in combining culture and relaxation, this is an ideal Yucatan private travel tour itinerary. Travel throughout Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, to Maya ruins, colonial cities and villages, and end the trip with time relaxing on the pristine beaches of the Mexican Riviera.
Begin your trip in Cancun, where you’ll be transferred to the stunning Chichen Itza ruins. There you’ll explore imposing pyramids set in lush jungle. After a day’s exploration, you’ll beat the afternoon heat with a refreshing swim at a cenote, or freshwater sinkhole, before continuing on to Merida. The colonial capital city of the region. Merida is a beautiful city with lovely architecture and a lively nightlife.
From Merida, visit the elegant Uxmal ruins, and the Loltun Cavern, where mammoth bones and evidence of human use dating back 7,000 years has been discovered. You’ll enjoy a pibil (earth-cooked) traditional meal, and meet a Maya family on this exciting day on the Yucatan.
Finally, end your trip on the Riviera Maya, where you’ll have time to relax on the beach. You’ll also have a day trip to the S’ian Kaan Reserve, one of Mexico’s largest protected areas and home to diverse wildlife.
