Welcome to the Mayan Ruins of Mexico Tour
From Caribbean beach days to feasting on tacos, exploring the ancient Mayan ruins, and partying in the city, discover everything a Cancun holiday has to offer!
Start by visiting Chichen Itza – the ancient ruins dating back to the 7th Century. You will love visiting Tulum Ruins – with their stunning position perched on a cliff edge overlooking the turquoise Caribbean Sea. After exploring the site on foot, head down the steps, and cool off with a dip in the sea. Head 30 km from Valladolid, Yucatan, is an ancient city, older than Chichen Itza and with significant cultural baggage. Note that this is a tour and not a ticket.

About the Chichen Itza Tour
Chichen Itza is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is one of the Seven Wonders of The World and is famous worldwide. Its iconic pyramid-shaped temple is the poster-child for the Mayan civilization, explaining why the Chichen Itza tour is on most travelers’ bucket lists. I know it was on mine! The only way to do the Chichen Itza tour is to go there by yourself, either in a car or staying in a nearby town.
About the Tulum Tour
Ah, Tulum. This ancient walled city perched on the edge of a cliff in Quintana Roo overlooking the Caribbean ocean in Mexico is quite a sight in person. Tulum’s greatest attraction is its location. It stands on a bluff facing the rising sun looking out on views of the Caribbean that are nothing less than spectacular. The Tulum ruins site is compact and easy to explore independently in only an hour. The self-guided Tulum tour takes you through the rise and fall of the Mayan empire.Â
About the Ek Balam Tour
Ek Balam: Ancient Maya’s Best-Kept Secret and often overshadowed little brother to uber-crowded Chichen Itza, is a special place. Mayan Ruins are scattered across the Yucatan Peninsula, but few rivals the intimate experience available here. Between getting there, exploring along the way, and eventually scaling the massive temple, you are guaranteed a fantastic day at one of Cancun’s favorite ruin sites yet. The word Ek Balam means “black jaguar” in the Yucatec Maya language, and carvings of jaguars can be seen on the structures and ruins throughout the site. Ek Balam is a compact and fascinating ruins site with impressive ancient pyramids and structures with exciting architecture.
