Uxmal and Kabah Tour

An Immersive Journey into Ancient Maya Civilization

Step back in time and explore the majestic legacy of the ancient Maya on this full-day guided tour to Uxmal and Kabah, two of the most fascinating archaeological sites in the Yucatán Peninsula. Departing from Mérida, this enriching experience includes round-trip transportation, the guidance of a certified expert.

Uxmal: The Jewel of Puuc Architecture

Your adventure begins with a visit to Uxmal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most well-preserved Maya cities. Unlike other sites, Uxmal is renowned for its ornate Puuc-style architecture, featuring intricate stone mosaics, elegant façades, and grand pyramids that reflect the artistic genius of the Maya.

Marvel at the Pyramid of the Magician, a towering structure steeped in myth and mystery, and walk through the Nunnery Quadrangle, an architectural masterpiece believed to have served ceremonial and administrative purposes. Learn about the astronomical and religious significance of the Governor's Palace and enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding jungle from its elevated platforms.

Kabah: Echoes of the Past

After Uxmal, continue your journey to Kabah, a smaller yet equally captivating Maya site just 20 minutes away. Kabah is famed for its Palace of the Masks, a long façade decorated with hundreds of stone masks representing Chaac, the Maya rain god — a powerful symbol of the importance of agriculture and water in Maya life.

Your guide will unveil the connections between Kabah and Uxmal, as both cities once formed part of a sacred route through the Puuc hills. Explore the ceremonial plazas, temples, and partially restored buildings that still whisper stories of a vibrant civilization.
