Get ready for the early call time specified when you checked out. Be escorted from your hotel in Cancun or Riviera Maya to your first stop: Tulum.
In Tulum, get a guided tour of the restored archaeological ruins. The ruins just so happen to sit on a cliff that overlooks the Caribbean Sea, making this site a key place to snap some pictures. Afterward, it’s off to Coba.
Take a break to re-energize with a lunch buffet at a local restaurant before you visit the ancient Mayan ruins of the city. The Mayans were a Mesoamerica civilization that rose to prominence around A.D. 250. Climb up one of the tallest pyramids on the Yucatan peninsula, Nohoch Muul, and explore the rest of the ancient grounds.
Next on your itinerary for the day is Tamcach-ha, a cenote in Mexico where you can jump in the waters or admire them from a far — it’s up to you what to do. Then, go to Playa del Carmen to wander around and purchase souvenirs for about an hour.
