Car Tour from Merida Cenote Hubiku Exploration

This full-day tour from Mérida combines two major archaeological sites, Chichén Itzá and Ek Balam, with a swim in a cenote and an all-you-can-eat buffet, traveling by air-conditioned vehicle with a guide.

At Chichén Itzá you'll see some of its most recognizable structures — El Castillo (the Kukulcán Pyramid), the Great Ball Court, the Temple of the Warriors, the Platform of Venus, and the Sacred Cenote — with your guide walking you through the site.

The tour continues to Ek Balam, a Maya site known for its detailed sculpture work and a quieter atmosphere than the larger ruins; here you'll visit the Acropolis, the Temple of the Jaguar, the Oval Palace, and the site's ancient entrance arch.

From there you head to the semi-open-air Hubiku cenote for a swim, followed by an all-you-can-eat buffet of local and international dishes to close out the day.

It suits travelers who want to see two of Yucatán's major archaeological sites in a single day and combine them with some time in the water and a proper meal, rather than splitting the sites across separate outings.

Hotel pickup and drop-off, entrance tickets (federal and state) to both Chichén Itzá and Ek Balam, entrance to Cenote Hubiku, the buffet, and one drink with lunch are all included; you'll be picked up at the lobby of your hotel or Airbnb at the agreed time.
