Chichén Itzá: Early Access + Guided Tour + Transfer from Cancún or Riviera Maya

If you listen closely, you can almost hear the whispers of ancient civilizations echoing through the jungle of Chichén Itzá. And with this early access ticket, you can be the first to witness the magic and mystery of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. As the sun rises and the jungle comes alive, you'll step back in time to explore the eroded remains of temples, tombs, and pyramids dating back to the 8th century. With an expert guide leading the way, you'll discover the secrets of the Mayan civilization and the evolution of their incredible architecture. From the early Puuc styles to Chene's forms, you'll be amazed at the sheer scale and complexity of the structures that surround you. Marvel at the imposing facade of the El Castillo pyramid, imagine the ancient ball games played on the site's enormous courts, and ponder the impressions of the afterlife at the entrances to the tombs. Enjoy a Mexican buffet lunch (if hotel pickup option selected) before returning to Cancun.
