Your experience
Stop 1
A quick stop at the famous Cancun sign and overlook to take clear photos of the turquoise ocean before the big tour buses crowd the area.
Stop 2
You will explore an incredible collection of Mayan artifacts alongside your certified guide, followed by a walk through the shaded jungle trails of the ancient San Miguelito site.
Stop 3
We cross the new bridge to visit a peaceful spiritual sanctuary surrounded by nature, a quiet place that very few regular tourists ever get to see.
Stop 4
Located on the northern edge of town, El Meco is a remarkably preserved Mayan site. It is usually very quiet, giving you the rare luxury of walking through ancient history without thousands of people around you.
