• El Castillo - El Castillo, also known as the Temple of Kukulcán, is a prominent Mesoamerican step-pyramid located at the heart of the Chichen Itza archaeological site in Yucatán, Mexico. Archaeologists formally refer to this pyramid as Chichen Itza Structure 5B18.

Note: This tour spans over 4.5 miles and covers the key Mayan Ruins in 7-8 hours.

• Tzompantli - Tzompantli, meaning skull rack, is also called the Platform of Skulls. This Toltec structure at Chichen Itza was used to display the heads of sacrificial victims.

• Cenote Ik kil - The Sacred Cenote, or Sacred Well, is one of the most revered locations at Chichen Itza. Known as the Well of Sacrifice, it embodies the core of Mayan beliefs and fears. Cenotes are water bodies formed by the limestone plain covering much of the Yucatán Peninsula, appearing as rivers, pools, or streams beneath the limestone surface.

• Temple of the Warriors - Resembling an elaborate wedding cake, the Temple of Warriors features three thick tiers at the base with a small temple on top. At the base of the stairway, there are about 200 columns, each adorned with carvings of Toltec warriors in various scenes.

• The Ossuary - Situated among the plazas, platforms, and a cenote, this pyramid is linked to the dynasty of the Lords of Chichen Itza. Known as El Osario or the Ossuary, it was named for the numerous human and animal bones found on site and is also referred to as the High Priest’s Grave. El Osario is a smaller version of El Castillo, with four staircases and a height of around 9 meters. It features designs similar to those on the Temple of Warriors and the Venus Platforms.

• El Caracol - El Caracol is one of the more intriguing structures at Chichen Itza. Atop this building are the remains of what was once a cylindrical observatory. The Mayans had a deep fascination with the heavens, believing they could discern the will and actions of the gods by closely observing the sky.

• Las Monjas - The imposing structure known as Las Monjas, or the Nunnery, is possibly one of the largest buildings at Chichen Itza. It has been rebuilt multiple times, resulting in more chambers and flats than other structures. A notable feature of the Las Monjas complex is the extensive texts that nearly cover the entire place.

• Tulum Archaeological Site - Tulum Ruins, Tulum Walls, and Cenote, House of Columns

• Casa Cenote - Don’t let the stunning ocean view distract you from this fascinating structure. It consists of two rooms, one accessible from the entrance and the other branching out from the western offshoot within the wall’s construction.

• Tulum - The Temple of the Wind is one of the most captivating structures. It sits atop a cliff with a single doorway facing north, overlooking a group of small shrines on the hillside. The round platforms here indicate it is a temple dedicated to the Wind God.

• El Castillo - The largest structure in Tulum is the 40-foot Pyramid of The Castle (El Castillo), standing on a rocky bluff of the same height. This structure follows the pattern of other renowned Mayan architecture, being built in multiple phases.

• Temple of the Frescoes - Welcome to the Temple of Frescoes. This two-story building, despite its modest proportions, holds significant archaeological importance. It is the most richly decorated and elaborately painted structure on this site.

• Tulum Beach - The ruins are bordered by a rugged coastline offering a breathtaking view of turquoise waters and a sandy beach. The cliffs on which the ruins stand create a mesmerizing effect on visitors. The picturesque walk down to the beach via the stairs from El Castillo reveals a mass of twisted limestone covered with plants. This view is sure to leave a lasting impression.
