Day 1--Our flight leaves from the Salt Lake City airport this morning and will be arriving in Cancun  in the afternoon.  We will be met by our air conditioned charter bus which will transport us to the the beautiful colonial city of Valladolid.  We will check into our hotel where you will have time to unpack before exploring this serene and peaceful town.   Have dinner at the hotel restaurant or you may choose to try out one of the many eating establishments nearby.  Take a short 10-15 min. stroll into the town center, check out the beautiful park and centuries old church and enjoy the atmosphere of this wonderful city.

You will be led by one of their knowledgeable guides who will teach us about this amazing place.  After spending time at Chichen, we will continue on to the nearby Cenote Ik-Kil, where you will be able to experience one of the incredible phenomenons of the Yucatan.  These are fresh water pools or 'lakes' found all over the peninsula.  Here we will have a delicious buffet lunch and take a break from the summer heat with a swim in the beautiful clear water.  You can swim in the cenote or just enjoy the beauty of this incredible 'cave'.  After our visit to the cenote, we will continue on toward a typical Mayan village where we will leave clothing and gifts for the local people.  You will be able to see just how these wonderful people live and get a peek into one of their humble homes.  Finally, we will return to our hotel where  you can again enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Valladolid and sample yet another restaurant for your evening meal!

Day 3--Breakfast at the hotel.  Today, we will pack our bags, check out of the hotel and travel to the ruins of  Ek Balam,a newly excavated Mayan city with spectacular architecture and beautiful carvings.  After spending time at Ek Balam, we will continue on to the ruins of  Tulum.  This ancient Mayan city is built on the coast of the clear blue waters of the Caribbean.  Our guides will give us a tour after which we will walk down to the beach and spend some time enjoying the ocean waves. Next, we will board our bus and head for the beautiful tropical Paradise resort of Playa del Carmen.
