DAY 4. HOLBOX – “SALT AND HONEY ROUTE” – MÉRIDA

After breakfast at the hotel, we will depart for the pier to take the boat that will take us to the mainland. Today we will visit the salt and honey route, two dominant products that gave Yucatán its power. Our first stop will be Las Coloradas, a small fishing port. Its vegetation is typical of the coastal dunes and mangroves that make up an extraordinary ecosystem, especially at the confluence of sea salt and freshwater deposits, its pristine beaches, and its flora and fauna, which are part of the Río Lagartos Nature Reserve. It has one of the most important salt processing plants in Mexico for the collection and treatment of salt.

OPTIONAL EXCURSION: Experience bee care in a Mayan community, considered one of the best living museums of honey. An experience full of history, ancestral knowledge, and direct contact with nature. Through interactive activities, we will discover the fascinating world of the melipona bee (without a stinger) and its vital importance to the ecosystem in Yucatán. We will continue on to the iconic Hacienda Sotuta de Peón, one of the few still in full production. Aboard wooden platforms pulled by mules—known as trucks—we will venture into the extensive henequen plantations.

DAY 5. UXMAL – THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE HACIENDAS – CHICHÉN ITZÁ

After breakfast, we will depart for one of the archaeological jewels of the Mayan civilization: Uxmal. This majestic city, dating back to the Classic period (250-950 AD), was the capital of the ancient kingdom of the Xiu, establishing itself as the political and economic center of the Puuc region.

Among its buildings, the following stand out:

The Nunnery Quadrangle
The Ball Court
The Dovecote
The Old Woman's House
The House of the Turtles
The Pyramid of the Magician, with its unique elliptical structure and a height of 35 meters.

DAY 7. VALLADOLID – THE CASTAS WAR ROUTE – BACALAR

After breakfast at the hotel. If you visit the Yucatan Peninsula, learning about the Caste War will allow you to discover a fascinating history of Mayan resistance that marked the region between 1847 and 1901. This war was an uprising of the Mayan people against the white population that dominated northwestern Yucatan, and for decades the Mayans controlled much of the territory, especially in the south and east. Among the most important cities in this history is Chan Santa Cruz (now Felipe Carrillo Puerto), which was the capital and spiritual center of the rebels, where the cult of the “Talking Cross” united the Maya in their struggle. Other key cities were San Antonio Muyil and Santa Cruz Tulum, on the north coast of Quintana Roo, which also played a crucial role during the war. In addition, places such as Valladolid and Mérida were the scenes of battles and refuges for the white population.

DAY 8. BACALAR – LAGOON OF THE SEVEN COLORS AND PIRATE LEGENDS

After breakfast, we will begin our adventure in the charming Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town) of Bacalar, a destination with unique natural and historical riches.

After breakfast, we will depart for the legendary Mayan city of Tulum, formerly known as Zamá, “the city of dawn.” This settlement was one of the main Mayan ports that was still active when the conquistadors arrived.
