This series is focused on exploring the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Part I features an incredible day trip from Riviera Maya. We begin by exploring Chichen Itza, one of the largest Mayan cities between approximately 600-1200 A.D. Then, we take a cooling swim in Cenote Ik Kil, an open-air, freshwater sinkhole known for its beautiful hanging vines. After, we head to the Colonial town of Valladolid for lunch at a local restaurant and a little exploring. Finally, we finish up at the Ek Balam Archaeological Site, where we'll get the chance to climb its Mayan pyramids and take in the views from above.
