A journey through history, nature, and culture. Discover the legacy of the Maya at three iconic destinations—Uxmal, Cenote Peba, and the Chocolate Museum.
Start your day at Uxmal, one of the most striking archaeological sites of the Maya civilization. Wander through its meticulously preserved ruins, where grand pyramids and ornate facades tell stories of a sophisticated ancient society. Marvel at the Pyramid of the Magician, a towering structure steeped in myth, and the intricate mosaics of the Governor’s Palace, a testament to Mayan astronomical precision and artistry. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Uxmal’s harmonious urban design and symbolic carvings offer a window into the political, spiritual, and daily life of the Maya. Swim into Nature’s Hidden Oasis in the mystical Cenote Peba, a semi-open underground pool adorned with glistening stalactites and stalagmites. Descend via a wooden staircase into its serene turquoise waters.
Recharge with a regional lunch bursting with authentic flavours. Conclude your journey at the Chocolate Museum. Discover how beans were used as money and offerings to the gods. Sample Chokoj Ha, the traditional Mayan chocolate beverage spiced with honey and chili. Learn about cultivation, global production, and threats to cacao biodiversity.
