Try out the echo and let your guide explain the exciting background of this special place.

Stroll through the restored cobblestone streets of Campeche, past pastel-colored mansions and sturdy fortress walls. The Malecon waterfront promenade, the picturesque Plaza Principal, and the well-fortified harbor invite you to linger. On a private tour, you will get to know the city center in depth. On the way to Mérida, you will make a lengthy stop at the famous Uxmal archaeological site, which is also a World Heritage Site. There are no better preserved and more carefully restored Mayan ruins in all of Yucatan than these! Let yourself be enchanted by the rich figurative decorations.

Continue your journey to Mérida, the capital of the state of Yucatán. Along the way, enjoy a private excursion to the Celestun Biosphere Reserve with its beautiful flamingo colonies, bubbling freshwater springs, and stunning beaches. The reserve is home to 350 different animal species, which you can get to know even better on a boat trip. In Mérida, you will delve deep into an exciting history with deep historical roots in Mayan and colonial times and learn more about the significance of this fascinating city today. Admire the magnificent colonial buildings on the Paseo de Montejo, the imposing cathedral, and the Monument to the Fatherland.

Then it's on to Chichen Itzá, Mexico's most visited archaeological site. Embark on a magical journey to discover the Maya people, their religion, cosmology, and everyday life. Your guide will bring this place back to life before your eyes. Cool off with a refreshing dip in the Ik-Kil cenote before continuing on to Cancún.

The Maya remain ever-present in Mexico, and Cancún is no exception. The impressive archaeological sites of Coba and Tulum await you here, accompanied by your private tour guide. Discover an ancient Maya city, cycle across the extensive grounds, or enjoy a comfortable ride on a tricycle. A dip in a nearby cenote provides wonderful refreshment. You will have lunch on the coast with a view of the deep blue Caribbean Sea. At the very end of the tour, you will dive into the waves to view the ruins on the beach from the sparkling water: a fitting introduction to the next excursion, which will take you along the Riviera Maya.

The extraordinary beauty of this stretch of coastline also fascinated the indigenous people. They called it "the place where the sky begins." Today, Sian Ka'an is a World Heritage Site and one of Mexico's largest protected areas. Ancient canals, temples, and wild animals such as ospreys, manatees, colorful birds, and crocodiles will enrich your day. The Xlapak Palace is adorned with ornate decorations. In the evening, delicious seafood awaits you at a local restaurant – followed perhaps by a sunset on the beach?
