2-hour Temazcal experience in the Mayan world

Delve into the spirituality of the sacred and special of the Mayan world. This experience takes place in a type of round hut, which does not exceed one and a half meters in height and has a small opening that serves as a door. Inside, a bonfire is made where volcanic stones are heated, over which a cold infusion of herbs and medicinal ingredients is poured by candlelight. The heat increases as the ceremony progresses, until it reaches its maximum point, 40 degrees. The boiling of fresh water thrown over the burning stones creates steam that has benefits for the entire body. Temazcal promotes relaxation of the muscular system and relieves pain. For its part, sweat cleanses the body of toxins and is good for the respiratory system. The temazcal is not a simple steam bath but also an inner journey that helps us reconnect with ourselves for self-healing

Las Coloradas, Río Lagartos and Playa Cancunito Tour from Mérida

Henry_T, Jun 2026

A long hot day but worth every minute!

It's a long day but well worth it. Every stop was unique. The salt pans ranged from vivid pinks to dusky browns. Really quite amazing and better than I expected. We did see a couple of alligators and quite a few flamingos. Along with a range of other bird life. The boat ride was fun and an adventure. Our beach visit was great also. Just be aware there is no shade - and throughout the day you do need to make sure you have at least a cap and sunblock or cover up. Lunch was very good - our guide chose a local dish for me and the fish was excellent and also I was happy to have a range of vegetables served with it - as sometimes the Mexican food can get a bit heavy. That cocktail hit the spot also! Thanks to our guide Juan and our driver.

A turnkey experience!

Expect a wonderful time. Our guide took care of my needs from start to finish. Rosendo was marvelous, the whole tour took place with the punctuality of a German train schedule, but was as forgiving as Hawaiiian Time when the need arose. Rosendo speaks perfect English and also French, and he’s very passionate and knowledgeable about Mayan culture and history. I can highly recommend this tour.

Uxmal, two Amazing Cenotes & Local Food Tour from Mérida

Matt_A, May 2026

This was a really good...

This was a really good tour, made excellent by our very knowledgeable tour guide Jorge. He had a great passion and shared lots of interesting information on not just the history of Uxmal but also of the local fauna and flora. It was nice to share lunch with him and to pick his brains further, and he was happy to indulge our curiosities. Then it was off to the Cenotes, which were both amazing in their own way. The first was not covered and had lots of fish in the crystal clear water. Jorge again was able to inform us of the local wildlife. The second one was more inside a cave, which was spectacular. It was very hot on this day, so I would recommend bringing lots of water (although there are opportunities to purchase more on the day). Also, the facilities at the cenotes were very basic and not as 'polished' as the facilities at other cenotes. However, this is to be expected when going to such rural areas anywhere and didn't detract at all from the experience.

Great tour and guides!

The pick up was punctual, the transportation was comfortable, and the tour guides were knowledgeable. Everything was fantastic! I was even able to book a second trip for two days later while on the tour which was also awesome! I highly recommend this company! I would definitely use them again and already have.

Incredible tour with Victor

A world-class tour with Victor. He has immense knowledge, pointed out unique details of various pyramids and structures you’d otherwise never know to look for or see. Seeing Sayil and Labná is really worth it. Victor provided great conversation and is a great and safe driver. He also offered to take photos, which were all really thoughtful and different than a simple picture. I would love to do this tour again to learn from Victor and see these incredibly well maintained architectural sites.

Amazing time with Alberto and Jose

A really great tour with Alberto and Jose. The large van is air conditioned which is critical with the heat and they continuously supplied cold water which is much appreciated. Alberto seamlessly moved between Spanish and English explanations to accommodate different language speakers — providing the same thorough level of details to both. They give you time at each site to explore, so you’ll enjoy it as much as you are willing to explore. At Izamal we were able to walk up a pyramid, visit the monetary and check out some shops. The cenote was a great experience — it’s quite built out, but is a unique opportunity. Chichén Itzá is just incredibly and jaw-dropping. Alberto spent an hour going through detail of Mayan history and up to contemporary land purchases and transfers. I highly recommend this tour. Alberto and Jose were great and you’ll have the opportunity to explore places yourself while also learning a lot of context and history with the structure of a tour guide. It’s sort of the best of both worlds.

Merida : Guided tour of Uxmal, Kabah and Cenote with Lunch

Elizabeth_R, Apr 2026

Excellent tour today with...

Excellent tour today with our guide David. An incredibly knowledgeable guy, and I learned a huge amount about the Maya. So many mind-blowing facts, told by David with great energy. Daniel was a good and careful driver, and took care when we encountered traffic (a big lorry and a herd of cows!) and a big downpour of rain. Uxmal and Kabah were fantastic and atmospheric, and not at all crowded (unlike Teotihuacan near CDMX which I was underwhelmed by). Lunch was better than I expected, (3 courses included, drinks extra), I had the sopa de lima, the cochinita pibil and flan. Be aware that it’s a bit later than you may be used to so perhaps have a snack in your bag to keep you going along if needed, along with plenty of water. The final stop of the cenote was a welcome chance to cool down, and even though I don’t swim it was easy to sit on the edge and put my legs in. All in all, I would 100% recommend this tour.

Excursion to Celestun Biosphere and Beach Day from Merida

Lawrence_N, Apr 2026

A brilliant tour!

What a great tour! Our tour guide, Alicia, and our driver, Herman (spelling), were excellent . The boat trip to see the wild flamingos, other birdlife, even crocodiles, plus going by boat into the mangroves was stuff from television nature shows. Brilliant! The beach stop, restaurant lunch, and dip in the Gulf of Mexico, how delightful. Terrific. Recommended.

George_A, Mar 2026

A nice day exploring Mayan sites

It’s an excellent way to see two important Mayan sites and the height of the Puuc style, UXMAL and KABAH; our guide Pedro was excellent, very knowledgeable and impressively guiding in both English and Spanish. The lunch was really tasty and the museum of chocolate very interesting - highly recommend the cold/fredo chocolate drink at the cafe.

4 Cenotes Tour in Homún all inclusive from Merida

Aaron_S, Jan 2026

Great tour and guide

It was a nice day. The cenotes were fantastic. The guide was excellent. I was the only native English speaker and could understand his Spanish but he made sure I understood everything. He expertly handled a very difficult situation with a 20 year old girl on our tour who decided that having 10 tequila shots was a good idea.
