This unforgettable tour blends culture, history, natural beauty, and relaxation, with lunch included to complete the experience.

Begin your day with comfortable round-trip transportation from your hotel. As you travel along jungle-lined roads, your expert guide will share fascinating insights into the ancient Maya civilisation and the intricate trade routes that once connected the Yucatán.

Arrive at the walled city of Tulum, one of the most picturesque and well-preserved Maya sites. Set atop coastal cliffs with sweeping views of the Caribbean, this site is rich in history and legend.

Recharge with a regional buffet lunch featuring authentic Yucatecan dishes and refreshing drinks, the perfect way to fuel your adventure and taste the local culture.
