Your 5 Night Yucatán Itinerary with Pixel Expeditions
Day 1: Arrival in Akumal – Tulum Ruins & Cenote Swim
Your Yucatán adventure begins with a warm welcome at Cancún Airport before transferring to Akumal. Depending on arrival time, explore the iconic Tulum ruins overlooking the Caribbean Sea or refresh yourself with a dip in a nearby cenote. The evening ends with a welcome dinner at a local restaurant, setting the tone for your journey.
Day 2: Coba Ruins & Monkey Sanctuary – Valladolid by Night
Step into Mayan history at the ancient city of Coba, where towering pyramids rise above the jungle canopy. Later, visit a nearby wildlife reserve to spot playful monkeys in their natural habitat. By evening, transfer to Valladolid, a colonial gem, and enjoy a traditional Mayan dinner in the heart of the town.
Day 3: Rio Lagartos & Ek Balam – Flamingoes and Jungle Views
Today’s Yucatán nature trip takes you to Río Lagartos, a vast mangrove ecosystem alive with birdlife, including flocks of striking pink flamingos. After a boat tour, return via the archaeological site of Ek Balam, one of the few Mayan ruins you can still climb. From the summit, take in sweeping views across the jungle.
Day 4: Chichén Itzá & Sacred Cenotes – Farewell Feast
Rise early to experience one of the New Seven Wonders of the World: Chichén Itzá. Marvel at El Castillo and uncover the astronomical genius of the Maya. Afterward, cool off in cathedral-like cenotes near Valladolid before returning to Akumal. A farewell dinner caps off your Yucatán multi-day trip in style.
