Highlights
  • Mayan Museum of Cancun - Cancun is more than just beaches and drinks, which is why you’re booking this tour. We begin by taking you to the Mayan Museum, located in the heart of the hotel zone. Here, you’ll learn about Mayan history while exploring stunning gardens and the beautiful Caribbean landscape. You’ll also encounter the Mexican tradition of “alebrijes,” colorful folkloric statues.

Cancun (Kaan kuum in the Mayan language, meaning “the snake nest”) is best understood through its Mayan traditions and culture, which are showcased in this museum and explained by our guides.

The museum is set in a breathtaking jungle where you can admire massive ceiba trees, which the Mayans believed connected their three worlds and symbolized life.

Mexican traditions are also highlighted, especially through the “alebrijes” statues, where sculptors’ imaginations bring to life colorful creatures that are a mix of different animals.

This is just the start of our adventure!

  • Playa Delfines - Cancun is renowned worldwide for its white sandy beaches and blue waters. One of our stops is at the panoramic terrace of Playa Delfines, where you can take stunning photos while marveling at the natural beauty.

Your guide will be happy to take pictures of you and your loved ones, capturing your joy at seeing such an iconic Caribbean location!

  • Mercado 23 - To truly experience local life, you must visit a local market. Here, you can see local vendors, admire the vibrant colors of their products, and take in the typical aromas of Mexican cuisine!

We prefer to take you to a smaller, less crowded market rather than the larger, more touristy ones. This way, you can experience where locals actually shop and eat. Our goal is to provide a realistic Mexican experience, not a tourist trap where you’re pressured to buy items for commissions.

Mexican people are naturally friendly, and you’ll feel at ease visiting their stands without any pressure to make a purchase. Just enjoy the colorful fruits and vegetables, the fragrant flowers, and the local food.

Our meal will be at the end of the tour at an international restaurant. Here, you can sit comfortably in air conditioning and enjoy good food, with vegetarian and vegan options available, and accommodations for any allergies.

  • Cenote Urbano 68 - One of the top attractions in the Riviera Maya is visiting the famous cenotes. We take you to the best one in Cancun, where you can refresh and have fun in a quiet, peaceful atmosphere, just minutes from the hotel zone.

This spot is perfect for both adults and kids and is limited to a small number of visitors each day. You’ll feel surrounded by nature as you enjoy the cool, fresh waters—ideal during the hot Caribbean summers!

  • Lara&Luca Cancun - For guests who book the experience with food included, we take you to this 5-star restaurant. Here, you can enjoy a great meal, including a 3-course option from Monday to Friday, a main course on weekends or national holidays, and the delicious fresh fruit water of the day!

We love this restaurant for its international cuisine, offering various options for all types of eaters, including vegetarians and vegans. They also accommodate any allergies, ensuring you end the tour with a fantastic meal.

During the week, we offer a complete menu with an appetizer (three options), a main course (three options), a dessert or coffee, and the fresh fruit water of the day.

On weekends or national holidays, we offer one of their amazing main courses from the main menu, along with the fresh fruit water of the day.

Additional Information

The main quality of this excursion is the PRIVACY!

First of all, our groups are usually small (usually about 4/6 people) unless you booked all together, with your family and friends.

The way our experience is led is without a rush or timing to do the activities; we want our guests to feel comfortable, listening to the Mayan history, while taking nice pictures among nature, enjoying the local market with a local guide, feeling part of it, not as tourists, having a complete view of Cancun, not just the hotel’s drinks and beach.

The cenote we visit is inside the town and few people have access to that, because it’s private, and most of the time we are totally alone there!

IMPORTANT:
Booking for a minimum of two people, please.

A complete meal is included; please check the details in the description. We also offer an option without the meal.

This option is for guests staying at Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Cozumel, but we have the option from Cancun too.

Location
Los Bisquets Obregon
We meet outside Los Bísquets de Obregón restaurant, on Constituyentes Street, across 20th Avenue, downtown Playa del Carmen.
