From Mérida: Dzibichaltún, El Corchito, and Progreso Trip – Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

EXPERIENCE:

We start the tour when our guide arrives for you at the lobby of your hotel, to enter the Mayan world. Dzibilchaltún (from the Maya written on the flat stone), In this site we will find one of the emblematic buildings of the culture. The Temple of the Seven Dolls also known as the Temple of the Sun, its name may originate from the phenomenon that occurs twice a year, on the spring and autumn equinoxes, when the rising sun is visible through the central door, a tribute to mathematical knowledge incredible of the Mayans. Also, we will find one of the most spectacular cenotes X’laka, its beauty is that it is on the surface of the ground (wear a bathing suit to bathe), this characteristic is due to its proximity to the coast and an open church that the colonizers used for the evangelization of the Maya. Then we will go to the El Corchito Ecological Reserve. It is located in the swamp, so it is possible to observe a wide variety of plants and birds. And our last point to visit is the Port of Progreso as a high-altitude port, in 2019 the part of the international pier of Progreso was inaugurated, it is the main one in Yucatan. It is located to the north, 36 km from Mérida, where we will have free time to enjoy the beach and, if you wish, the gastronomy of the place, later we will return to Mérida.
