Chichen Itza, founded in the year 514 AD, was once the capital of the ancient Mayan civilization and was recently declared one of the “7 Modern Wonders of the World.” The ruins are steeped in a magical history of bloody rituals of human sacrifice, a warrior culture, astrological discovery, and elaborately constructed Maya-Toltec buildings. The ruins are a must see for any visit to Cancun and traveling through the rustic Mayaland Hotel is the most provocative way to explore them. Gray Line offers the “only” tour with exclusive access to the Mayaland Hotel, Conde Nast winner and National Geographic Regional Favorite!
Close enough to the archaeological zone to have its own private entrance, you are free to travel in and out of the archaeological zone as many times as you like. A shower and a dip in a cool Mayaland Hotel resort pool after a hot day at the ruins is truly a gift… not to mention a lounge chair to rest your feet and an ice cold drink.
Our excursion begins by picking up all passengers between 7:00-8:05am from the lobbies of all major Cancun hotels (Zone 1). Once we have picked up all clients, we will depart directly for Chichen Itza without stopping at any tourist traps along the way. Arriving at the Mayaland Hotel, we will head directly to the archaeological site through the Mayaland Hotel’s private gate. At the site, our certified tour guide will take you on a 1.5 hour tour exploring the secrets of the ancient Mayan Civilization. Your guide will explain the historical significance of all the most important monuments before leaving you to discover the site on your own. Move at your own pace. Admire and take pictures with El Castillo.
