Stand before one of the Seven Wonders of the World with a private expert archaeologist guide, then cool off in a crystal cenote. This is the Yucatán's defining bucket-list moment — no crowd noise, just ancient genius.
What to expect
Your private guide meets you at the port and whisks you in a comfortable vehicle to Chichén Itzá before the main crowds arrive. You'll explore the iconic pyramid, the Great Ball Court, and the Temple of Warriors with personalised commentary on Maya cosmology and astronomy. After the site, a short drive brings you to a private cenote for a serene swim in turquoise limestone waters. Lunch at a regional hacienda restaurant rounds out the day before a relaxed return transfer.
Good to know
Chichén Itzá is 200 km from Progreso port — allow 2.5 hrs each way; a 6-hour private tour is recommended to be back well before all-aboard. Pre-book your guide directly; site admission (MXN 671 for international visitors) is paid separately at the gate. Depart no later than 7 a.m. from the port.
