Mayan tradition and beliefs will come alive on your trip to Dzibilchatun. The ‘Place of Inscribed Stone’, it has remnants of more than 21,000 temples spread over 18 square kilometres! Surrounded by relics from this ancient civilization at the on-site museum, you will be engulfed by Mexico’s rich legacy. Stroll around the ruins exploring a typical Mayan house and the Seven Dolls Temple. A marvel in astronomical positioning, the sun appears to be inside the temple and rises out of the roof during the equinox. A dip in the emerald waters of Xlacah cenote will refresh you!

This tour has two options; you can opt for a private tour or a coach tour. In the morning, you will be picked up from your hotel in Merida. Accompanied by an English-speaking driver / guide, you will be taken to
Dzibilchatun, a Mayan city located north of Merida. Visit the museum, a typical Mayan house, the Ecological Road, Pyramids and the principle temple, called the
Seven Dolls Temple. Its small but fascinating museum on site exhibits the seven dolls that were found inside the temple.

There are a number of tourist shops in the cruise terminal selling a range of impressive souvenirs. Enjoy views of the Golfo de Mexico Sea.
