Wake up early and arrive at Chichen Itza with your private guide as the gates to this astounding complex open. Then continue to the white sand and turquoise waters of The Caribbean.Â
It is worth an early rise to reach Chichen Itza before the crowds. There is a good reason why this is one of the most visited Mayan sites in Mexico. In 2007 the site was declared by UNESCO as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The enormous scale of the towering pyramids and intricacy of the stone carvings will have you transfixed. With a specialist guide, learn about the fascinating history of this ancient wonder.Â
Arriving in the Riviera Maya, the team at Esencia will be ready and waiting to welcome you to this exclusive beach hotel on the Caribbean Coast. This elegant resort was built as a private home for an Italian Duchess. The rooms are effortlessly chic, and the service and quality of the food are noticeably faultless.
There is plenty going on at Esencia to keep active guests occupied with a spa, gym and tennis court on site. Further afield, Mayan ruins, underground cenotes and coastal reserves are all within easy reach. Wildlife lovers will enjoy a day trip to the Sian Kaan Biosphere Reserve. This coastal reserve is a paradise of tropical forests, mangroves and a barrier reef off the shore.Â
We will arrange a private guide to help you explore the ruins of Tulum – a stunning Mayan site with ocean views. We have also included a half day on a private catamaran with a captain and crew to reach secluded Caribbean reefs for some beautiful snorkelling.Â
Scuba diving, deep sea fishing and paddle boarding are all available, allowing you to get onto the water and enjoy the marine life in the ocean. At the end of your stay, drive to Cancun for direct international flights home or continue the journey with a flight to Mexico City or beyond.Â
