Playa del Carmen: Chichen Itza, Valladolid, Cenote & Buffet

11.Chichen Itza, Valladolid, Cenote & Buffet

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 196 reviews · from $89

Travel from Playa del Carmen to Chichen Itza with a bilingual guide such as Marcela, Arturo, or Rodrigo, then cool off at Cenote Chichikan, enjoy a buffet, and take a short walk through Valladolid. The early departure helps with heat and crowds, but expect a long day and extra charges for the Chichen Itza tax, drinks, locker, and life vest.

“Rodrigo and Alexis were great informative and engaging guides! The only suggestion I have is to let travellers know how many stairs there are to get down to the cenote … I have mobility issues and wouldn’t have attempted the cenote if I knew there were so many stairs”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 187 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $89

Spend about eight hours at KUZÁ Beach & Adventure Park in Cozumel with a hands-on Mexican cooking class, unlimited buffet dining, standard open bar, cultural shows, beach time, and optional kayak, paddleboard, and snorkel rentals. You’ll make tortillas, guacamole, and tacos al pastor, then use the park’s beach, hammocks, trails, and shaded areas at your own pace.

“Let me say that the staff at Kuza was very nice but that's pretty much the only positive for me. Taxi rides to and from the park were very expensive. Pretty much predatory and there is absolutely no mention of that cost when booking the excursion. Just FYI it cost $65 for 2 adults and 3 kids one way. We were told we could negotiate but once they know you have reservations, you're at their mercy. When we arrived at Kuza, we were taken back to the beach and told that our Mexican flavors class was at 9:15am and then another staff member told us 9:30. We arrived around 9:20…”
