About this tour

The meaning behind these days runs deep, encompassing culture, tradition, community, and celebration. What’s most fascinating is that during this time, Mexicans don’t mourn absence, but rather celebrate the living presence that has transcended into eternity by joining in the festivity of the souls who no longer dwell on this earth.

Itinerary

Upon arrival, the staff will greet you and assist with your private transfer to the hotel.
(Overnight stay at Cancún hotel, All-Inclusive Plan)

Discover the essence of Mexico at Xcaret, a stunning park where nature, tradition, and celebration come together. Explore underground rivers, an Aviary, a Butterfly Pavilion, a Coral Reef Aquarium, and more. During this time of year, the park hosts its traditional Festival of Life and Death Traditions, featuring unique theatrical performances and artistic displays that welcome the souls returning from the afterlife to visit their loved ones.
(Overnight stay at Cancún hotel, All-Inclusive Plan)

Enjoy a free morning at the beautiful hotel beach. In the afternoon, transfer to Valladolid, Yucatán’s second-largest and oldest city. This magical town invites you to stroll through colonial buildings and homes, parks, neighborhoods, and churches, where a charming provincial atmosphere is still alive.
(Overnight stay in Valladolid hotel, Breakfast Included)

Discover a community that preserves its identity and culture, where you’ll experience the arrival of cherished scents such as cempasúchil (marigold), which fills every corner with color. In the Yucatán Peninsula, something special is prepared: pib, a tamale wrapped in banana leaves and buried underground for several hours, as tradition dictates.

In this community, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Learn how pibes are prepared

  • Participate in altar setup

  • Enjoy the traditional dish

  • Visit home altars in the community

Afterward, transfer to the hotel for check-in and rest. Later, enjoy the Chichén Itzá by Night show, where shadows and light offer a magical and unforgettable experience under the starry sky, with the great pyramid of Kukulkán as the centerpiece.
(Overnight stay in Valladolid, Breakfast Included)

Early morning departure for a guided tour of Chichén Itzá, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Here, you’ll witness the astronomical and mathematical precision of its structures, hear the amazing acoustics of the Kukulkán Pyramid, and visit highlights like the Sacred Cenote, Ball Court, and Temple of the Thousand Columns. (Lunch included)

Then, enjoy a tour of the colonial city of Valladolid, founded in 1543. See the cultural syncretism between Mayan and Spanish traditions, and admire the colonial charm of the Central Plaza, the Church of San Servacio, Sisal neighborhood, and the old Franciscan convent of San Bernardino de Siena. Later, continue the return trip to Cancún.
(Overnight stay at Cancún hotel, All-Inclusive Plan)

Free morning to enjoy the hotel’s beautiful beach. In the afternoon, if you wish, it’s a perfect time to have fun and enjoy a magical night.
Optional recommendation (not included): attend a show that combines the performing arts in an intimate theater setting designed to awaken your senses. The story follows an alchemist and his granddaughter on a journey to discover the secrets of life.
