Uxmal tour from Mérida

Explore the majesty of the Puuc Route, the history of cacao and crystal clear waters.

The Puuc Route in a single day: the Uxmal archaeological site with a certified guide, a former hacienda where the traditional cacao process is explained, and a semi-open cenote to close the afternoon. Lunch is à la carte.

Who is this tour for?

  • Anyone who wants to see Puuc architecture up close: the Pyramid of the Magician and the Nunnery Quadrangle.
  • Travellers who prefer a slightly shorter day than Chichén Itzá: the trip runs 8:30 AM - 6:00 PM.
  • People who want to add cacao history and a semi-open cenote to the archaeological visit.
