The Yucatán Peninsula was once the heart of the Maya civilisation. It is dotted with remarkable ruins and archaeological sites that draw visitors from around the world. Two of the most important ruins can be found in the stunning coastal enclave of Tulum, once a pivotal port on the Caribbean Sea for the Maya, and the ancient city of Cobá, nestled deep within the Yucatan jungle. Our full-day excursion from Cancún allows you to explore these fascinating sites in the company of a private driver-guide, as well as enjoy an invigorating swim in a famous cenote and a delectable introduction to Mexican gastronomy where you’ll taste local chocolate, tequila and a variety of regional delicacies.

On this comprehensive private tour, carefully crafted for travellers seeking a deep connection with Mexico’s history, culture, cuisine and natural wonders, your passionate local expert will take you on a captivating voyage into the heart of the Yucatán Peninsula.
Your day will begin bright and early at your hotel in Cancún, where you will get acquainted with your guide and hop aboard your private transportation. Soon you will embark upon a scenic drive along the stunning Caribbean coastline to the charming city of Tulum. You will visit the ruins at the Tulum Archaeological Zone and marvel at the iconic clifftop views and remarkably well-preserved temples. You will listen to your knowledgeable local guide bring the city’s fascinating past to life and discover how Tulum once served as a vital trading centre for the Maya. Before leaving Tulum, you will also enjoy an artisanal chocolate tasting, experiencing the same rich flavours that the Maya cherished as a sacred gift from the gods.
Then it’s time to journey deeper into the jungle to the ancient city of Cobá, one of the Yucatán’s largest and most intriguing archaeological sites. While you wander through Cobá’s ancient paths, you will uncover monumental ruins and hidden histories far from the typical tourist trails. You can also climb the towering Nohoch Mul Pyramid for panoramic views that stretch over the lush landscape, giving a privileged perspective from the region’s tallest pyramid. While in Cobá you will have the chance to do a Tequila tasting and sample a local blend of one of Mexico’s most celebrated exports.
By now you will surely have worked up an appetite, so your next stop will be at a nearby restaurant for a Mexican buffet lunch where you’ll be able to try a range of tasty Mexican dishes. Last but certainly not least, you will make your way to one of Yucatán’s most famous natural phenomena - a crystal clear natural pool called a cenote. As you cool off with a refreshing swim, you will soon see why these striking limestone formations were considered sacred by the Maya.
As your expedition across the Yucatán draws to a close, your driver-guide will bring you back to your hotel in Cancún having enjoyed a truly memorable day and immersing yourself in the best the Yucatán has to offer.
