Visiting Chichén Itzá and Yucatán’s cenotes can be one of the most unforgettable experiences of your trip. And with the Itzá Experience by Lakin Tours, you’ll enjoy a thoughtfully planned, comfortable, and authentic journey. Here are 7 practical tips to help you make the most of every moment.

1. Arrive early to avoid the crowds
   The tour starts at 7:00 a.m., allowing you to reach Chichén Itzá before the heat and large tour groups. You’ll enjoy more space to explore, better photo opportunities, and a calmer environment to connect with the site.
2. Wear light and comfortable clothing
   You’ll be walking through an archaeological site and swimming in cenotes, so dress in breathable clothes, comfortable shoes, a hat or cap, and sunglasses. Comfort is key to a better experience.
3. Don’t forget your swimsuit and towel
   It may seem obvious, but it’s a common oversight. Bring a waterproof bag, sandals, and a change of dry clothes. You’ll be ready to swim and change with ease.
4. Stay hydrated and use biodegradable sunscreen
   The Yucatán heat can be intense. Drink water frequently (the tour provides bottled water). Use biodegradable sunscreen to protect your skin and the delicate cenote ecosystems.
5. Listen to your guide
   Lakin Tours guides are certified and passionate about their culture. Pay attention, ask questions, and be amazed by the stories and details they share. You’ll gain deeper insight than you ever expected.
6. Be respectful of sacred spaces
   Chichén Itzá and the cenotes are culturally and spiritually significant places. Avoid touching formations, making excessive noise, or leaving trash. Your respect helps preserve them.
7. Enjoy without rushing
   The itinerary is designed for you to take your time at every stop. Breathe, observe, listen, and enjoy—from ancient ruins to the flavor of a freshly made tortilla.
