Itinerary:
1️⃣ Mayan Museum of Cancun
You know that Cancun is not just beach and drinks, and that's why you're booking this excursion, where we just start showing you the Mayan Museum, right in the middle of the hotel zone, explaining to you a bit of Mayan history, while exploring the amazing gardens and beautiful Caribbean nature, passing through the Mexican tradition of the "alebrijes", statues of folkloric colored creatures.
Cancun (Kaan kuum, in the Mayan language, meaning "the snake nest") cannot be really explored, without starting with its Mayan traditions and cultures, perfectly exposed in this museum and explained by our guides.
The museum is immersed in an amazing jungle, where you will admire huge ceiba trees, representing Life for the Mayans, and connecting their three worlds.
The Mexican traditions are exposed too, especially represented by the "alebrijes" statues, where the imagination of a sculptor gives life to colored creatures, a mix of different animals.
This is just the beginning of our adventure!
2️⃣ Playa Delfines
Cancun is famous all over the world for its white sands beaches and blue waters, and one of our stops is right at the panoramic terrace of Playa Delfines, where you can take amazing pictures while admiring Mother Nature's beauties.
Your guide will be happy to take pictures of you and your family and friends, showing your happiness to see such an iconic place of the Caribbean Sea!
3️⃣ Mercado 23
Local life cannot be experienced without visiting a local market and seeing local vendors, admiring their products' intense colours, and smelling the typical flavours of Mexican cuisine!
We prefer taking you to a smaller market, not that crowded and touristic like the bigger one, to let you experience where the local people are really going to shop and eat, because our idea is to live a realistic Mexican life, not visiting touristic shops, where forcing you to buy products, to get commissions eventually.
Mexican people are naturally friendly and you will feel comfortable visiting their stands, without any pressure to buy anything, but just giving them a nice smile, while passing through colourful fruits and vegetables, smelling flowers and local food.
Our meal will be at the end of the excursion, at an international restaurant, where sitting and eating comfortably good food, having air conditioning on, offering vegetarian and vegan options too, and also caring for possible allergies.
