Early Visit to Chichén Itzá from Mérida

Travel from Mérida to Chichén Itzá, the ancient Mayan city considered a Wonder of the World since 2007. Being among the first to experience and enjoy this magical place is something unique, and it is a must during your vacation in the Yucatán Peninsula. Here, you will visit the Kukulcán Temple, which is the largest three-dimensional Mayan calendar in the world. Chichén Itzá receives between 2,000 and 5,000 visitors every day, so being among the first to arrive and enter the site plays a very important role. In this way, you can avoid the crowds and the intense midday heat. You are guaranteed to be among the first to enter the site and take the best photos, and at the end of the tour, you will see that it was worth getting up early and avoiding the hottest part of the day. For the Chichén Itzá guide, your experience and satisfaction are the most important things. That is why small groups are offered, so the attention is personalised. It is not a private tour, but it is a small-group experience, and the journey to the area and the return are direct, so no time is lost in commercial stores or stops along the route.
