About this Experience
Uxmal is an ancient Mayan city located in the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico. It was a prominent political and cultural center during the Mayan civilization. The Mayan civilization thrived in Mesoamerica from 2000 BC to 1500 AD, renowned for its advanced knowledge in mathematics, astronomy, and architecture.
Uxmal is celebrated for its impressive architectural structures, including the iconic Pyramid of the Magician and the magnificent Governor's Palace. These structures showcase the intricate craftsmanship and advanced engineering of the Mayans — a testament to one of the most sophisticated civilizations of the ancient world.
Our expert certified guide will walk you through centuries of history, pointing out the ornate stone mosaics, elaborate friezes, and the astronomical alignments that make Uxmal one of the finest examples of the Puuc architectural style. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site unlike any other in Mexico.
"Uxmal is a fascinating site that showcases the rich history and architectural brilliance of the Maya — a place where ancient stones still whisper the stories of a great civilization."

What Travelers Say
"geweldige ervaring"
"It was an amazing experience to learn from our guide Tonny about Uxmal and Mayan culture. All explanations were clear and meritorical, with a bit of humour. What I absolutely admired was Tonny's calm voice, patience, engagement and respect for the overwhelming culture of Maya. Thank you Tonny for this lesson, and for showing us a bit of your world."
"La actividad ha ido genial. Nuestro guía Antonio fue súper atento y sabía muchas cosas de lo que nos explicaba. Da gusto dar con gente a la que le gusta tanto su trabajo y se esmera porque entendamos todo. Super recomendable."
"Heel fijn, geweldige gids"
"Unser Führer, Tonny, hat sein großes Fachwissen mit Stolz auf seine Maja Vorfahren in die Führung eingebracht. Es hat Spaß gemacht, die Führung war kurzweilig, nicht nur das reine vermitteln von Fakten."
