What is the Puuc Route?

A route through southern Yucatán that brings together some of the most representative archaeological sites of Puuc architecture.

Exploring this region allows you to visit different Maya cities and discover the details that characterize the Puuc style.

Want to explore the Puuc Route? Visiting it involves more than simply reaching each site

To visit several sites in the same day, you need to coordinate distances, transportation, schedules, and admission fees.

And when you have to take care of everything yourself, part of your day goes into driving, checking routes, estimating travel times, and keeping track of what comes next.

The idea is for you to enjoy the journey, not spend the day organizing it.

Dedicate the day to discovering the Puuc Route, not organizing it

Forget about driving, checking routes, calculating travel times, or worrying about how to get to the next site. We coordinate the itinerary so you can relax, enjoy the journey, and share the day with the people traveling with you.

From your departure from Mérida until your return, you’ll have an organized itinerary so you can focus on what really matters: enjoying the experience.

Don’t just visit the Puuc Route: Discover it

Getting to an archaeological site is one thing; understanding what you’re seeing is another.

While you explore each site and enjoy the moment, a certified guide accompanies you to help you learn about the history, architecture, and details that might otherwise go unnoticed if you explored the route on your own.

This way, you can make the most of your visit and take home more than just photographs of the journey.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The trip was great, we booked it a bit late a day earlier but that was not a problem. We could arrange the pickup time at any time we wanted in front of our hotel. It was a private tour for 2 people. The car was nice and clean and the drive went smoothly. The trip included visiting Chichen Itza, 2 cenotes and Valladolid. The drive and service were great and punctual and the tour itself insightful. The cenotes we visited were great and calm as there were not many tourists there. Our guide walked us through the whole thing and talked to the local employees on our behalf. Lunch was in Valladolid in a nice restaurant, after which we went back. The whole trip lasted about 12 hours and it was worth it.

Lunch and tickets were not included in the price, but that is not a problem since you can pay everything by card easily.

Aprox. 350-400€ for 2 people for everything.

I would recommend.
