Tour Plan
Arrive at the UNESCO-listed archaeological site, and spend time exploring what's considered to be one of the most important sites in the Maya world in the company of your guide. Climb to the top of the Mayan Pyramid and visit the "temple of the turtle," where the female religious leaders lived.
After visiting Uxmal, continue your tour to Merida; the capital of the Yucatan peninsula. Constructed by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century, the colonial town has colorful historic buildings around a central plaza. Walk along the main street, visit the main square, and see a historic church.
At a nearby cacao museum, learn how the ancient Maya people used cacao beans, and see the preparation of cacao into natural chocolate. Before returning to your Cancun hotel, enjoy a final stop at a traditional Yucatan hacienda; the former house of rich conquistadors and their slaves.

The private tour offered a refreshing blend of history and culture, especially during the unique cacao experience that let me see the process up close. While the insights from my guide were fascinating, the long travel time from my starting point felt a bit excessive at times.

We had an incredible adventure exploring Uxmal and Merida, with the cacao experience being a highlight of our day. The private tour felt personal and allowed us to soak in the rich history and stunning architecture without feeling rushed. We particularly enjoyed the hands-on chocolate-making session, which was both fun and delicious. While the drive from Cancún can be lengthy, the scenic views made it worthwhile. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaged, adding depth to our discoveries. Overall, it was a memorable outing filled with culture and camaraderie.

We really enjoyed our journey to Uxmal and Merida, where we explored stunning ruins and learned about the fascinating history. The transportation was comfortable, but the long drive from Cancún felt a bit tiring for the kids.
