Highlights of the Tour

Tren Maya
Experience the future of travel in the Yucatán Península with the Mayan Train. This innovative train connects you comfortably and efficiently to some of the most iconic sites of the Mayan world, offering scenic views of lush jungles and vibrant landscapes along the way. Traveling on the Tren Maya is more than just transportation—it’s part of the adventure.

Palenque
Everything about Palenque fascinates. Its primordial jungle setting, intricate construction, and intimate scale are truly mesmerizing for the first-time visitor. Palenque became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.
Palenque was a sprawling religious center that spanned nearly 25 square miles. Only roughly half a mile has been excavated, revealing what many consider to be the architectural apogee of western Mayan civilization. The knowledge that there’s so much yet to be excavated at Palenque is, surely, part of the site’s enduring charm.

Campeche, a charming colonial city on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, is known for its colorful historic center, cobblestone streets, and beautifully restored 17th-century buildings. Once a major Spanish port, it was frequently attacked by pirates, which led to the construction of impressive defensive walls and forts that still stand today. As you walk through the old city, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time. The relaxed pace, seaside views, and rich cultural heritage make Campeche a peaceful and memorable destination full of character.

Uxmal is by far the most dramatic of all the hill and flatland archaeological sites in the Yucatán. It dates from 600-1000 A.D. and is known for the stunning beauty of its architecture.  Uxmal (pronounced “oosh-mal”) means either “built three times” or “what is to come, the future.” Legend says that the first king of the city was bested by a magical dwarf named Itzamna, who won Uxmal and the position of the king by building the tallest monument (now known as the Pyramid of the Magician) in the city in one night. As you enter Uxmal, time seems to slow, giving this Mayan site a dreamy, magical feel.

Mérida, known as La Ciudad Blanca, is the vibrant capital of Yucatán. It is a city that captivates both locals and visitors with its rich cultural heritage and historical charm. Known for its elegant colonial architecture, Mérida stands as a testament to the grandeur of its past, where ancient Mayan traditions blend seamlessly with Spanish influences. This city offers an extraordinary journey through time, with its bustling plazas, exquisite museums, and lively markets. Today, Mérida is a thriving cultural hub, celebrated for its warm hospitality and dynamic arts scene. Yet, beyond modernity, one can still feel the echoes of a fascinating history, making Mérida a must-visit destination for those seeking to explore the true essence of the Yucatán Peninsula in a serene and inviting atmosphere

Discover the charm of a historic Yucatecan henequen hacienda, surrounded by nature, colonial architecture, and living traditions. During the visit, guests can witness the fascinating process of transforming henequen, from the harvesting of the agave leaves to the extraction and preparation of the natural fiber once known as “green gold.” Among gardens, restored buildings, traditional workshops, and landscapes full of history, every corner offers an authentic experience connected to Mayan culture and the essence of Yucatán.
