On this enchanting island, where the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea meet, with a history dating back 1,500 years to the Mayans and as part of the province of Ekab, we enjoy the sea, sand, and sun to the fullest on its beaches famous for their turquoise waters. After strolling through the island’s colorful streets and enjoying some free time, we return to Cancun by ferry. Overnight at our hotel in Cancun. ### Cancun - Chichen Itza - Merida After breakfast at the hotel, we set off for Mérida. Along our route, we will take the Chichén Itzá & Cenote tour. On this tour, the places to be seen include the Kukulkan Pyramid, Caracol, Cenote, the Temple of the Jaguar, and the Temple of the Warriors. Among the structures to be visited, the most famous one, the Kukulkan Pyramid, which was selected as one of the Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, owes its fame primarily to the scientific observations used in its architectural construction. Each step of the pyramid built by the Maya hundreds of years ago represents one of the 365 days of the year. Afterwards, we will visit a cenote.

Upon arrival at this ancient city, one of the most important centers of the Mayan civilization whose history dates back to the 5th century, we will learn about the ancient city and the Mayans. We will explore the city’s broad cultural structure, impressive architecture, and pyramids, which were also occupied by the Toltec civilization before the Spanish colonial period.

Upon arrival, we explore the Palenque ruins, rising from among the tropical forests at the foot of the Tumbalá Mountains, known in the Nahuatl indigenous language as the “Quetzal Mountain,” one of the most important archaeological and natural sites in the state of Chiapas. Palenque, one of the world’s most impressive ancient sites, also contains some of the finest examples of Mayan Classic Period architecture, sculpture, and reliefs in Mexico and Central America. We learn that the city experienced its golden age during the reign of its greatest ruler, Pacal, who governed for 68 years in the 7th century. Among its many structures, we visit the most magnificent ones: the Great Palace, the Temple of Inscriptions-Pyramid, from which King Pakal’s tomb was excavated, and the Temple of the Sun.

We visit Cathedral Square and the Main Square in the city center, then enjoy a pleasant walk through the colorful streets. Afterwards, we head to the magnificent Sumidero Canyon, located only 5 km from the capital of Chiapas state. Shaped over millions of years by the erosion of the Grijalva River, this spectacular gorge creates a breathtaking scene with sheer rock walls reaching over 1,000 meters in places. Flowing through Chiapas and Tabasco states before reaching the Gulf of Mexico, the river’s waters form a unique natural corridor along the canyon. From the viewpoints (miradores), we have the opportunity to admire the deep valley, steep slopes, and rich vegetation from above. After this exploration, where we feel the power and grandeur of nature, we return to our hotel and spend the night there. ### Tuxtla - Santo Domingo Tehuantepec After breakfast, we depart from our hotel and set off on a scenic road journey to Santo Domingo Tehuantepec. Upon arrival in this warm and colorful Zapotec town, which was the second most important city in the region after Oaxaca during the colonial period, we begin our exploration. First, we visit the magnificent Santo Domingo Church and Old Convent, built by Dominican friars in the mid-16th century, as well as the building converted into San Pedro Cathedral. Then we stop in front of the impressive seven-meter-tall Tehuana Woman Monument made of stainless steel at the town entrance, where we take a pleasant photo break in front of this monument symbolizing the region’s strong female culture and the identity of the Tehuana woman, famous for her hand-embroidered huipiles. If possible, we will have the chance to stroll through the local market and see local handicrafts. After our full day of discovery, we check into our hotel and spend the night in Santo Domingo Tehuantepec. Accommodation at our hotel. ### Santo Domingo Tehuantepec – Oaxaca After breakfast at the hotel, we begin our journey to Oaxaca. Following a pleasant four-hour drive, we arrive in Oaxaca and start our city tour. We explore the city’s key highlights panoramically, with its colonial architecture, historic squares, and vibrant urban atmosphere standing out. One of the most special parts of our tour is our departure for Monte Albán; located in the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico, on a mountainous area rising in the middle of the Oaxaca Valley at the point where the cities of Etla, Tlacolula, Zimatlán, and Ocotlán meet, this unique pre-Columbian ancient city is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With its expansive plazas, pyramid-like temples, ceremonial areas, and layout suited for astronomical observations, we explore this magnificent city step by step with the guidance of our guide. After our tour, we transfer to our hotel to rest. Overnight at our hotel. ### Oaxaca – Puebla After breakfast, we begin our approximately five-hour journey to Puebla. Puebla, with its colonial architecture, colorful streets, and historic center listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of Mexico’s most distinctive cities. On our tour, we first visit Zócalo de Puebla, considered the heart of the city; surrounded by historic buildings, cafés, and a lively atmosphere, this square is the center of the city’s social life. We then explore Puebla Cathedral, which stands out with its magnificent architecture and combines Baroque and Renaissance influences, and is regarded as one of the most impressive cathedrals in Latin America. We continue our tour with Capilla del Rosario, famous for its gold embellishments and intricate decorations and known as the “Eighth Wonder of the New World”; its enchanting interior takes visitors seemingly beyond time.

Along our route, we will tour Teotihuacan, believed to have begun construction around 100 BC and one of the largest cities of the pre-Columbian era. During the tour, we visit very important historical monuments such as the Pyramid of the Sun, the Pyramid of the Moon, and the Avenue of the Dead. Different views have been put forward regarding the founding date of this ancient city, whose builders and the reason for its sudden abandonment still remain unclear. The layout of the structures in Teotihuacan was arranged to be the reflection of the Orion constellation on the ground, much like the pyramids in Giza, and also, starting from the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, to be the reflection of the planets on the ground. After our tour of these magical places, we transfer to our hotel in Mexico City. Overnight at our hotel. ### Mexico City Our tour will begin with the historic center of the city, which has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List: the huge Constitution Square, known as the Zócalo; the Metropolitan Cathedral, built on the site of an Aztec temple; and the National Palace, where the murals of famous artist Diego Rivera telling the history of Mexico are among the places we will see. After our panoramic city tour, we set out to visit the world-famous National Museum of Anthropology. In this museum, where archaeological and anthropological artifacts from pre-Columbian Mexico are exhibited, the Sun Stone and the Xochipilli Statue are among the most striking pieces. Afterwards, we will visit the Frida Kahlo Museum. Frida Kahlo, the Mexican painter who became an icon of twentieth-century popular culture, explains why she painted self-portraits with these words: “I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best.” Frida Kahlo, whom Picasso said, “We do not know how to paint human faces like her,” and whose painting was also purchased by the Louvre Museum, welcomes visitors from all around the world every year at “La Casa Azul – The Blue House,” which contains approximately 300 of her belongings.
