An exclusive 24-hour experience that combines nature, culture, spirit, delicious food, and first-class comforts. Your experience includes an early morning VIP entrance into the world-famous Chichén Itzá. Plus, an overnight stay at the gorgeous and sustainable Hacienda Chichén. You can also expect unparalleled bird watching, an abundance of flora and fauna discovery, a refreshing swim in a private cenote, and finally, a visit to a modern-day Maya community and a traditional meal with a local family.

Your transportation will depart Mérida at 3:00 pm and arrive at your hotel in Chichén Itzá by 5:00 pm. After you settle in, you can choose to join us for a tour of the hacienda and grand gardens or book a treatment in the award-winning spa (at an extra cost). Next, prepare to delight in a unique culinary experience that combines Mayan flavors, Yucatecan dishes, and locally grown organic ingredients! After dinner, you can retire to your room for a night of good sleep in anticipation of your early morning rise.

You will wake up with the sun and meet your local Chichén Itzá archaeological guide at 6:00 am at the private entrance through your hotel into the 8th World Wonder. After enjoying this rare opportunity to wander the world-famous Chichén Itzá before the crowds arrive, you will continue on your adventures to a private, breathtaking cenote for a refreshing swim and a moment to sit still with nature.

The nature-dense area makes the drive brilliant for bird watching and flora observation. Finally, you will arrive at a Mayan community just south of Chichén Itzá for a tour and lunch with a local modern-day Maya family. This will be a good place to buy local, hand-made pieces and home goods as gifts or for yourself. Once you’ve finished with lunch and shopping, you will start the two-hour journey back to Mérida. The perfect time for a siesta!
