Cuzama & Mayapan - Day trip from Merida - 8 Hours
ITINERARY
Your adventure begins in your Mérida hotel, where one of our guides will pick you up and transfer you to the Archaeological site of Mayapan, which is considered the last great Mayan city. At Mayapan you will learn about the magnificent structures, which are similar to Chichen Itza. The Mayan word 'Mayapan' means 'standard for the Maya people' and it was supposedly founded by the legendary Kukulcan in the early XI century.
After Mayapan we head off to Cuzama, a charming town where you will see the local Mayan people riding tricycles. There you will witness how the ancient Hacienda trucks formerly used to transport sisal leaves are now used as means of transportation for people. These trucks are wagons pulled by horses along the rail and will transport you to the Cenotes in the jungle. You will enjoy swimming in 3 different, unique cenotes. The Cenotes are sinkholes or underground rivers located in caverns. Each cenote is different and we will start with "Chelentun," later "Chansinicchee" and finally "Bolonchoojol" cenote.
The excursion comes to an end when you taste the Yucatan flavors in a typical Hacienda and visit the factory which until about 12 years ago had a functional sical scrapping machine.
