Mérida: Uxmal, Santa Elena, and Cenote Private Day Trip

Private Tour: Flavors and Secrets of the Puuc Route

Embark on a unique journey from Mérida to the majestic archaeological site of Uxmal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the greatest cities of the ancient Maya civilization. Explore its pyramids, temples, and the awe-inspiring Nunnery Quadrangle alongside a local guide who will share the secrets and stories behind this sacred city.

Afterwards, visit a nearby Maya village, where you'll be welcomed by a traditional cook recognized by UNESCO as a guardian of Mexico’s culinary heritage. Savor an authentic, slow-cooked meal made with local ingredients, while learning about the deep connection between food, culture, and Maya identity.

Then, hop on a local tuk tuk to explore the charming town of Santa Elena, known for its colonial church, local markets, and vibrant community life.

To end this cultural adventure, refresh yourself with a swim in a hidden cenote, surrounded by nature. Bathe in the crystal-clear waters as the ancient Maya did — a ritual of purification for body and soul.
