Mayan Ruins of Tulum<br />
Private Tour<br />
The Mayan ruins of Tulum are the third most-visited historical site in all of Mexico—for<br />
a good reason. Tulum enjoys a spectacular cliff-side location, looking out over the<br />
majestic Caribbean Sea, which sparkles in vibrant shades of aqua and turquoise. It is,<br />
in fact, the only known archaeological site located by the sea. Tulum was occupied by<br />
the Mayan people until the Spanish conquest of the Yucatan Peninsula, but was fully<br />
abandoned by the end of the 16th century. Until the late 20th century, local Mayans<br />
continued to visit the temples to pray, but today, the restored ruins are used primarily<br />
for tourism purposes.<br />

VALLADOLID<br />
Private Tour<br />
Authentic, it’s a word that is frequently used when<br />
describing Valladolid. Culturally speaking, the city<br />
is deeply Mayan, from the guttural consonants of<br />
the Mayan language heard on its streets, to the<br />
many women still wearing the traditional huipil<br />
(white cotton dresses adorned with bright, flowered<br />
embroidery). You will be charmed by this colonial<br />
city, which was once a capital of the Spanish<br />
supremacy. Ornate architecture, market places, and<br />
a Franciscan convent are all points of interest that<br />
you will encounter.<br />
As you walk through the streets you will get the feeling<br />
that not much has changed in the past fifty years.<br />
Life is taken at a slower pace, and Mayan customs<br />
and traditions are present everywhere. We will make<br />
a stop at a private home that has one of the largest<br />
museum-quality collections of Mexican folk art held<br />
in private hands. You will be able to admire more<br />
than 3000 pieces here, housed in stunning Colonial<br />
architecture. This amazing experience is followed by<br />
short visits to a cacao factory, as well as a unique<br />
perfumery.<br />
