About the experience

Beat the crowds and experience one of the New Seven Wonders of the World like a VIP. Our early access pass gets you inside Chichén Itzá before the general public, giving you the perfect opportunity to explore and photograph the magnificent Kukulcán Pyramid without thousands of tourists in your shots.

Your certified archaeologist guide will bring the ancient Mayan civilization to life with fascinating stories about astronomy, mathematics, and the mysterious ball game. You'll walk through the Temple of Warriors, the Great Ball Court, and the Sacred Cenote while learning secrets that most tourists never hear.

After the tour, cool off with a refreshing swim in a nearby cenote – an underground natural pool formed millions of years ago. We'll also stop in the colorful town of Valladolid for an authentic Yucatecan lunch before heading back.

The early access was a game-changer. We had the pyramid almost to ourselves for photos. Our guide Roberto was incredibly knowledgeable.

Worth every penny. The cenote swim after the archaeological site was the perfect way to cool down. Highly recommend!

As a history buff, this exceeded all expectations. The guide's knowledge of Mayan astronomy was mind-blowing.
