What to expect

From Caribbean beach days to feasting on tacos, exploring the ancient Mayan ruins, and partying in the city, Cancun has a lot to offer. This self-guided audio tour allows you to explore Cancun's wonders with maximum flexibility and value.

Start by visiting Chichén Itzá – the ancient ruins dating back to the 7th Century, considered one of the New 7 Wonders of The World according to UNESCO. Visit Tulum Ruins with their stunning position perched on a cliff edge overlooking the turquoise Caribbean Sea. After exploring the site on foot, head down the steps, and cool off with a dip in the sea.

Head 30 km from the city of Valladolid, Yucatan, is an ancient city, older than Chichén Itzá itself and with a piece of very important cultural baggage. Discover Coba Ruins, among the most intact ancient Mayan sites, and explore Ek Balam, the incredible site where ancient Mayans kept the tombs of their kings.
