MYSTICAL UXMAL
Archaeological + Cenote + Lunch & Coctails
The city of Uxmal is associated with mystery and legend. One story suggests that the city’s first king was bested by a magical dwarf, who won the position as Uxmal’s king by constructing the tallest monument in the city in one night. That ceremonial pyramid is now known as the “Pyramid of the Magician”.
Socially and artistically, Uxmal was one of the most important cities in the Mayan World. Being no less majestic and magical than Chichen Itza, the fact Uxmal is less visited by tourists makes it a much more enticing and awe-inspiring Mayan ruin experience.
When visiting Uxmal, part of the charm is that you walk through the city, climb pyramids, walk through arches, and from one point of the Mayan city to the other.
Even today while the city has been abandoned for centuries, its majesty still radiates. Indeed, Uxmal is considered one of the most important archaeological sites of Maya culture.
After Uxmal, we will visit a beautiful Hacienda and two amazing cenotes to take a dip in the water of their majestic channels, and then we will have a delicious Yucatecan lunch by the pool. Don´t forget your speedo!

- Uxmal (Yucatec Maya: Óoxmáal [óˑʃmáˑl]) is an ancient Maya city of the classical period. It's considered one of the most important archaeological sites of Maya culture, along with Palenque, Chichen Itza and Calakmul.
- Its buildings are typical of the Puuc style, with smooth low walls that open on ornate friezes based on representations of typical Maya huts.
- Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom visited on 27 February 1975 for the inauguration of the site's sound & light show. When the presentation reached the point where the sound system played the Maya prayer to Chaac (the Maya rain deity), a sudden torrential downpour occurred.
