Itinerary
We will pick you up in your hotel and we will travel to our first stop: Cenote Hubiku. As you enter to this wonder, you will find the Hubiku letters where you can take as many photos you want. While you go down to the cenote, you will find a shaman who will bless you. The cenote has a hole where a large tree once introduced its roots to reach its fresh waters, the water goes down as a waterfall and around it the birds flutter as if they were in paradise. Its emerald waters invite you to swim in them; its depth is 27 meters and the opening in the center of it allows the sun's rays to enter, creating a visual spectacle that is worth admiring. Then you will enjoy a delicious buffet meal with the typical dishes of the region.
The tour continues in the Tequila Museum, a space within the cenote that gives you the opportunity to learn more about this Mexican drink; at the entrance you can take a photograph in a small colorful mural. Upon entering the museum there is a person offering you different types of tequila from the traditional, even flavors like coffee, while listening to ranchera music. Right there you can buy a bottle of this tequila. Later, you will start a tour of the Mayan Village of Hubiku, where the first thing that will catch your attention are the hammocks hanging under the trees, which will make you want to run to bed and take a nap between the sound of the trees. After passing through the hammocks, you go through some small cabins that show part of the lifestyle of the people of these communities.
Later, we will visit the city of Valladolid, located in the heart of Yucatan to admire the splendor of Colonial Mexico in the architecture of its buildings, temples and the Church of San Servacio, located in front of the main square and park of the city.

Absolutely amazing! The lights really tell the story of the site. It brings it to life. So worthwhile! It was nice to be able to see the ruins with less people present, although my photography skills need work for night time pics!
The night projection is amazing (Spanish only). The tour itself is good but if you want to know anything about chichen itza, you have to book a guided tour some other day during daytime to truly learn from a certified tour guide.
I just did the night light and sound show. I had seen Similar pyramids on Cozumel cruise in daytime.Surprised to see so few people. Having seen light sound shows in Egypt India I prefer them because of the magical elements that can't be seen in day times. Was not disappointed. Infact left overjoyed. The laser technology is so advanced that the experience is simply incredible and unforgettable. This is a must do. As they say one picture says more than a thousand words. This experience will prove it. I rented a car from Cancun airport Drove straight down the toll road. Total toll about 450-475 Mexican pesos.Make sure you have cash. Stayed at Chichinitza hotel which is a mile away from the site. Had dinner and headed out. Parking about 160-180 pesos. Tickets 42 USD. Paid with card. Show ends around 815-830. After show realized that Didn't really need to stay overnight and could drive back in 2 and half hrs. But being first time driving on Mexican roads had booked hotel and so stayed back . Toll road/ easy straight drive/ great road/ navigating with google maps was perfect. Must do experience.

We recommend visiting the city of Valladolid but without shopping, enjoy the main square, its church and surroundings, shopping can be done later in Chichen Itza, there is a lot of souvenirs on offer. There are many senotes and each agency goes to one in particular, we went to the town of TEKOM, a few minutes from Valladolid. After this we went to the pyramid, a hot and rainy place, if you brought an umbrella or parasol.
