Breakfast at the hotel.
We will begin the day with a guided tour of this colorful city. Its colonial architecture is a testament to its Spanish heritage. The splendor of its colonial riches earned the city the nickname "Sultana of the East."

The Mayans had a significant knowledge of astrology. They built the most famous pyramid at Chichen Itzá in alignment with the Sun, so on the day of the spring equinox, the God Kukulkan (the feathered serpent) can be observed descending the pyramid's stairs thanks to a play of shadows.
At the end of the day, we'll head to Mérida.
Dinner and overnight at the hotel.

DAY 3: MÉRIDA    
Breakfast at the hotel.
We will begin the day with a guided tour of Mérida, whose historic center is the second largest in Mexico after Mexico City.
Thanks to its unique geographical location, strong Spanish influence, and isolation from the rest of Mexico, Mérida has developed a specific cultural and political identity. Its unique culture and traditions are clearly evident in the local dress, language, cuisine, and the way festivals and holidays are celebrated.
Mérida's cuisine is also distinct from traditional Mexican cuisine because it has been influenced by the local indigenous culture, as well as Caribbean, Mexican, European, and Middle Eastern flavors.
After this tour, we will set out to discover a Hacienda (optional), an old Mexican residence that demonstrates the city's growth in the 19th century. Enjoy a typical lunch at the Hacienda.
Visiting the Hacienda will give you a true sense of what a fully functioning Henequen Hacienda once was, with the luxurious style and true traditions of that period. You will literally travel back in time, traveling in wooden carts called "Truks" pulled by mules, just like in the original times.
You will have the opportunity to learn about the transformation process of Henequen (the green golden thread of Yucatán); from the plant to the fiber, and from the fiber to the thread and the finished product.
This Hacienda also has a cenote where you can swim. (Bring a swimsuit and towel.) Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.

DAY 4: MÉRIDA – CAMPECHE (184 KM/3 H)
Breakfast at the hotel.

After almost a century of incessant attacks on the city by French, Dutch, and English pirates, the Spanish built a significant fortification in 1686.
Over time, Campeche became the main colonial port in Yucatán, thanks to its formidable defense system, one of the best in the Western Hemisphere.

You'll feel like you're on an Indiana Jones adventure because this site is still so wild! There are around 6,000 buildings, only a few of which have been excavated. This site is still very rarely visited, allowing you to enjoy the tranquility and nature.
The diversity of wildlife and tropical vegetation is astonishing. Calakmul is home to 86 species of mammals (jaguar, puma, ocelot, oncilla, jaguarondi (or otter cat), anteater, spider monkey, howler monkey, tapir, etc.), approximately 282 species of birds, 50 species of reptiles, 400 types of butterflies, and 73 varieties of Oncidium luridium orchids.

DAY 6: CALAKMUL – BACALAR – CHETUMAL (235 KM/5H)

Route to Bacalar Lagoon, also known as the "Lagoon of Seven Colors." Thanks to the contrasts of the floor and its varying depths, its waters reflect seven shades of blue. This lagoon also has an open-air cenote that reaches a depth of 90 meters.
We will visit the town of Bacalar. There you can find various wooden handicrafts as well as traditional handmade garments: huipiles.
Bacalar also has a fortification that protected it from pirate attacks due to its importance in the trade of goods from Central America. It increased due to its large production of "palo de Tinte," an indelible black dye used as a textile dye by the English.
Fish lunch at a restaurant with access to the lagoon.
You will have the opportunity to take a motorboat ride (optional) to explore the lagoon; it is the best way to discover all the shades of blue that this paradise has to offer.

DAY 7: CHETUMAL – MAHAHUAL (142 KM/2H)

What makes this place so charming is the absence of chain hotels, replaced by small hotels and, of course, its idyllic beaches!
We will have lunch at a seaside restaurant, where we can enjoy sun loungers.
