1. A Journey Through Time: Chichén Itzá (Must-Do)
Immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring grandeur of Chichén Itzá, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Embark on a guided tour to unravel the mysteries of Mayan civilization, marveling at architectural marvels such as El Castillo (the Temple of Kukulkan), the Great Ball Court, the Temple of Warriors, and the Sacred Cenote.
Visiting Chichén Itzá is one of the most popular activities to do in Cancún. The site opens at 8 a.m., so arriving shortly after opening allows you to explore the ruins with relative tranquility before tour buses arrive. Alternatively, visiting in the late afternoon offers the advantage of experiencing the site during the cooler hours of the day. At this time, you’ll witness spectacular light and shadow play on the structures as the sun sets.
