Full description

The first stop will be at Chichén Itzá, where you will see the pyramid of Kukulcan (El Castillo), known for the play of light from the equinox that casts shadows on each step to create an image of a serpent descending, here, you will be accompanied by an expert certified bilingual guide, who will explain the historical significance of all the most important temples of this ancient city before leaving you to enjoy Chichen Itza at your own.

chitzen itza wurde leider bestreikt. Dafür sind wir nach Ek Balam gefahren. Beeindruckend. Abholung in Merida mit dem Taxi und Fahrt nach Ek Balam hat sehr gut geklappt. In Ek Balam hatten wir eine Einzelführung mit einem sehr netten Guide. Danach in eine Cenote. War auch sehr schön. Valladolid hat uns jetzt nicht ganz so gefallen und 25 Minuten Aufenthalt haben deshalb gereicht. Die Rückfahrt war sehr gut und wir sind bis zu unserem Hotel vor gefahren worden.

Everything was ok, guides were nice ad sights worth seeing. However 30 min in Valladolid is just enough to go around the Main square with many tourist shops.
