History and adventure: two new tours to try during your next Cancun vacation
New from Thomas More Travel this May, two tours that will take you deep into the history of the Yucatan and satisfy your spirit of adventure.
Exploring Valladolid
This colonial town in eastern Yucatan is a treasure trove of history and traditions. Discover its many charms on this new day trip.
The city tour includes a walk along the Calzada de los Frailes, a restored pedestrian-only street from the San Bernardino Convent to the main square, site of the 17th-century San Servacio Cathedral and the City Hall. There will be time to shop for handicrafts on the way, visit the market or perhaps some of the city’s small museums and soak up the peaceful ambiance in this pueblo mágico.
After the tour of Valladolid, it’s on to the nearby Hacienda San Lorenzo Oxman to learn about henequen cultivation. Dive into one of the area’s most beautiful cenotes for a cooling dip and then enjoy a tequila tasting and buffet lunch.
Departures: Monday, Wednesday and Friday
Royal Resorts Tulum Adventure
Exclusively for Royal Resorts members and guests, this tour is a thrill-packed day of jungle adventures and Maya history in Tulum.
You’ll start by visiting the beautiful cliff top archaeological site of Tulum, then it’s on to Aventuras Mayas Park where the excitement begins. Enjoy an ATV ride through the jungle, swim in a cenote deep in a cave and take to the air with a zip lining circuit that has seven different stages on a thrilling flight through the forest canopy.
Departures on Thursday
Private tours
If you want to see more of Valladolid, planning your own itinerary to see more of the town and booking a private tour with Thomas More Travel is an alternative. You could spend more time in the main square and the town’s different colonial barrios, visit the Mexican Ethnic Clothing Museum or MUREM, San Roque Museum, Casa de los Venados and its collection of Mexican folk art (tour at 10 a.m.), the La Casona ceramic fountain, Mayapan Distillery, Zaci Cenote and other attractions.
Private tours in your own Thomas More Travel van with a driver are the perfect option whenever you want to explore the area at your own pace and go off the beaten track.
