Chichen Itza Mayan Cuisine Tour

Overall rating: 4.5 stars (7 Reviews)

Description

On this tour we offer a cultural alternative as much fun to visit one of the Seven Wonders of the World. We will learn about the Mayan culture through its typical food and beverages and we will cool off at one of the most beautiful cenotes in the area.

We will visit Chichen Itza, one of the most important Mayan cities with a unique approach where you will travel to the center of this millenary place accompanied by your guide who will provide you with all the necessary information for you to enjoy and learn about this ancient culture.

We will delve into the regional cuisine with a unique gastronomic demonstration, that through flavors and smells, you will live the tradition and innovation of the use of plants, vegetables and wildlife, which transcends borders symbolizing the rich culinary diversity of the area.

When finished, you will swim in the semi-open cenote Ik Kil where its deep blue waters will make you enjoy the purity and tranquility that Mother Earth offers us.

Reviews

Tour, overall, was really good. Tour guide was great. I would have loved a little more time (free time) at Chichen Itza instead of stopping at Valladolid - Most people were pretty tired by that point. Food stop was excellent! Score: 4 stars Recommended: YES from Kelowna, BC, Canada
Carlos was amazing! I learned so much from him. Could not have asked for a better tour guide. Score: 5 stars Recommended: YES from Delaware, OH
