Before reaching the ruins, you will travel wide open savanahs of sawgrass, giant airplants and orchids through narrow, crystal clear and cool, freshwater canals constructed by the ancient Maya. Bring a bathing suit for a relaxing swim on the way home.

Muyil has some very impressive ruins and you almost always have the entire ruins to yourself (photo right). This is a not to be missed tour for the nature and history lover.

The Mayan site of Coba was once home to 60,000 inhabitants. It is a two-hour drive from our Club and is always a big hit. It sits next to four large ancient lakes and it's Maya name means, "Water stirred by wind." It also lays claim as having the tallest structure of the Yucatan's many Maya ruins.

Coba was built over 1,200 years ago and was never discovered by the Spanish Conquistadors! It remains one of the most beautiful and largest of all the ancient Maya cities.

It is not visited by as many people as Chichen Itza or Tulum and if you're lucky you might be all by yourself with only birds, monkeys and the dense jungle to accompany you at these ancient, mystical ruins.

Tulum was once called Zama, meaning ¨place of the dawning sun¨. It was the equivaent of an ancient country club for the Maya elite and for good reason. It has beautiful, magnificent views of the ocean and white sand beaches. It was also once the hub of seagoing Maya merchants plying the Caribbean.

It continues to be the most visited of all the Maya sites.

The Castillo (photo right), is known more for its scenic location than its size. People feel compelled to photograph this impressive structure with its backdrop of the beautiful Caribbean. It is now believed it was used as an ancient light house to show the way through the dangerous reefs which lie just offshore.
