Immerse yourself in the ancient wonders of the Mayan civilisation as you discover the mythical city of Chichén Itzá - one of the New Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Also spend time in the colonial city of Valladolid, take a cool dip in an enchanting cenote and enjoy a Mexican buffet lunch on this cultural day trip.

Board a luxury coach at your hotel and head into the depths of the jungle-studded Yucatan Peninsula. Step off the bus to enter the archaeological zone of the UNESCO-listed Chichén Itzá, a major urban centre of the Mayan empire that flourished from around 750-1200 AD. As you stroll the vast lawns dotted with ruins, marvel at the Temple of Kukulkan, with its 365 steps - one for each day of the year - and distinctive serpent sculptures. Stand in awe at the massive Temple of the Warriors with its 200 square columns, each carved with the image of a Toltec warrior.

Leave the heat of the jungle behind and head to Cenote Xkekén for a refreshing swim.

Once you have worked up an appetite, head to La Casona, our speciality restaurant in a beautiful mansion, for local cuisine. You can enjoy a delicious buffet in this magnificent historic villa. After lunch, you can take a short walk to admire the picturesque streets of Valladolid, lined with the colourful facades of colonial buildings. Finally, board your coach for the return journey to your accommodation.
