  • Today you begin your journey by boarding your international outbound flight to Cancun. On arrival in Cancun, you will be transferred to your hotel.

  • Today you will be collected from your hotel and driven to Chichén Itzá, where you will take a guided tour of the ruins with a private guide, followed by lunch. You will then continue to Mérida.

  • Spend the day immersing yourself in the charm of this historic colonial city. Take time to stroll through its picturesque streets, admire the elegant architecture, and visit local markets and museums. In the evening, head to the main squares, where you may witness traditional Yucatecan dance performances.

  • Today, take a private guided tour of two ancient Mayan sites buried deep in the jungle. At Uxmal, an hour's drive from Mérida, your guide points out the architecture unique to this site, such as the carved cisterns paying homage to the rain god Chaac. Ascend the Magician's Pyramid for views over the whole site. In the afternoon, journey to Kabáh, a settlement once connected to Uxmal by a white stone causeway. You'll be dropped back in Mérida at the end of the trip.

Here you will learn to marry local ingredients together and create a number of select dishes frequently found in the country's cuisine. The fresh spices used in Mexican cooking are renowned for bringing dishes to life.
