ACTIVITIES 

Few Mexican destinations can dazzle you with ancient Maya ruins, azure Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico waters and colonial cities all in one fell swoop. Actually, there's only one – the Yucatán Peninsula and you’ll be given the chance to explore to your heart’s content on an exclusive tour we’ve organised. After being picked up at your hotel, you’ll travel to Chichén Itza where you can marvel at the step pyramid of Kukulcan (El Castillo), known for the play of light from the equinox that casts shadows on each step to create an image of a serpent descending. You’ll then head to the ancient cenote of Hubiku and experience one of the sinkholes that form part of a network of underground rivers sacred to the Maya people. Enjoy a delicious buffet meal and take a stroll around the colonial city of Valladolid to complete your experience.

On top of this, you’ll get the chance to rev your engine after dark on an exhilarating night quad bike adventure through the jungle. Suit up and ride through the jungle paths for 1 hour, enjoying the natural scenery that surrounds you and feeling the adrenaline as you follow your instincts through the darkness. You’ll even to cross a suspension bridge before taking a refreshing dip in a freshwater sinkhole called the Cenote Media Luna. Your experience ends with a delicious snack around the bonfire as you listen to astonishing Mayan legends beneath the silver light of a full (if you’re lucky) moon.
