Valladolid - Chichén-Itzá (Yucatan)
Breakfast at hotel. Departure from hotel to Ek Balam, the
"Acropolis" of ruins of the Mayan culture, center of the Kingdom
of Tah. Here one finds the tomb of King Ukit Kan Lei Tok. Visit
the colonial city of Valladolid, a landmark in all of Latin
America. Valladolid was founded in 1543 to subjugate the
indomitable, warlike Cupul Maya and possibilities to swim in the
cenotes (underground rivers) Sammula, Dzitnup and Zaci.
According to Mayan belief, the underground rivers were sacred
and meant to cleanse body and soul. Valladolid is a bustling
Mayan city with a special colonial flavor. This is where you
will see the majority of the town’s people still using the
typical dress of the Maya and the buildings around the Main
Plaza painted pastel colors. You will surely get a sense of the
laid-back pace of life. Optional lunch at the Meson del Marques
Restaurant. Arrival at the Hacienda Chichén Resort in

in Abalá, visiting en route the colonial city and magical town
of Izamal, a sacred city of Mayan pilgrimage since 300 B. C., a
city of ochre facades, horse-drawn carriages and cobble stone
streets. Called the City of Hills and located right in the
middle of the Yucatan Peninsula, Izamal may be the oldest city
in the Yucatan. Izamal was conquered by the Spaniards, and the
monks in their eagerness to convert the Indians to Catholicism
gave the city its religious distinction. To this day, Izamal's
people are very devoted to the Immaculate Virgin. Optional lunch

Abalá – Uxmal – Puuc Route - Maxcanú -
(Yucatan)
Breakfast at the Hacienda Temozón. Morning departure
for the archeological zone of Uxmal. Guided visit to the
archeological site of Uxmal with its Pyramid of the Magician or
Dwarf, the Nunnery Quadrangle and the Temple of Turtles. Uxmal
means "'built three times" in the Mayan language, and though its
name is a mystery, its beauty is not. As a World Heritage site,
it is one of the best restored and maintained ruins in the
Yucatan, and certainly one of the most magnificent. Its
architecture, some of the most majestic of the Yucatan ruins, is
characterized by low horizontal palaces set around courtyards,
decorated with rich sculptural elements and details. Uxmal was
the greatest metropolitan and religious center in the Puuc hills
in the late classical period. It thrived between the 7th and
10th century A.D. and its numerous architectural styles reflect
a number of building phases. Just before the lunch we will have
an unforgettable experience in the Caves of Lol-Tún (“Stone
Flower.”) After lunch, visit to the archeological zones of the
Puuc Route. The Puuc Route is located throughout the unique
mountain range of the Peninsula of Yucatan, the Mountain range
of Ticul. The Puuc style is defined by a civilization obsessed
with the adoration of the God of the Rain, Chaac. We will visit
the archaeological zones of: Labná with its majestic Arc; the
Palace of the Nine Rooms in Xlapak, which is totally covered
with beautiful masks of Chaac, the majestic Palace of Sayil and
the Palace Codz Poop in Kabáh. Arrival at the Hacienda Santa
Rosa de Lima in Maxcanú. The Hacienda was constructed in the
19th century; it has the atmosphere of a nobleman’s private
estate and offers 11 luxurious suites.
