 Chichen Itza is the most impressive and most visited of the Mayan ruins on the Yucatan Peninsula. You will marvel at how the Mayans built this city without the use of the wheel. Join us and admire this magnificent Mayan city considered to be one of the most advanced in the Americas. "El Castillo," the castle, or the pyramid of Kukulcan has 91 steps on each of its four sides and one on top for a total of 365. Coincidence? Decide for yourself. See "El Caracol" or "the shell" the Mayans devised a calendar more accurate than the one we use today.

 The coast of Quintana Roo, the state in Mexico where Cancun is located, is bathed by, crystal-clear, green-blue waters, lined by beaches of fine white sand, punctuated by coves, bays and islands, with a backdrop of lush tropical jungle vegetation. It is here that Tulum stands, on a cliff, overlooking the Caribbean. Tulum, the most important Maya archaeological site on the coast, is 127 kilometers (78 miles) south of Cancun and a must see excursion.
