Itinerary
- Your guide will greet you at the terminal and lead you to a complimentary shuttle for a short four-mile ride to the city’s edge. From there, you’ll transfer to an air-conditioned vehicle for a picturesque 25-mile journey to the mesmerizing La Rosada pink lagoon salt flats. Here, you’ll marvel at the stunning pink waters and explore the surrounding salt marshes, a truly unique natural wonder. Next, a quick five-minute drive will take you to the ancient ruins of Xcambo, one of the largest pre-Hispanic settlements on the Yucatán Peninsula. Once a vital hub for the Mayan Empire’s salt production, Xcambo thrived between 250 and 600 AD. Today, you can walk through this fascinating archaeological site and see the legacy of salt production that continues to this day.
- Xcambo was also a vibrant center for craft production and trade, making it a bustling city in its time. Your expert English-speaking guide will take you through its fascinating history, pointing out significant structures and sharing captivating local lore. As you explore, you’ll encounter ceremonial sites, small pyramids, and platforms surrounding the central plaza, including highlights like the Temple of the Cross, the Temple of Sacrifices, and the Pyramid of the Masks. This immersive guided tour, paired with time for personal exploration, lasts 90 minutes. (1h 30min) Admission included
- After your journey into history, it’s time to unwind with a 2-hour beach break at the TechnoHotel. This beachfront oasis offers full access to luxurious amenities, including a pool, poolside bar, comfortable beach chairs, umbrellas, palapas, and showers. Savor a Mexican all-you-can-eat menu and enjoy an open bar serving beer, soda, bottled water, and cocktails made with tequila, rum, and vodka.
