Along the Puuc Route, Kabah and Uxmal reveal the height of Maya architectural sophistication. Their ceremonial centers, framed by intricate stonework and perfect proportions, preserve centuries of astronomy, ritual, and sacred knowledge. In Kabah, every carved mask speaks a symbolic language etched in stone, while Uxmal captivates with its serene grandeur and seamless harmony with the landscape.
The journey concludes with an intimate cultural encounter: a private workshop led by Doña Patricia, where ancestral pottery and Maya codex painting techniques come to life. Through clay and symbols, you will uncover the stories and meanings once carried by these ancient visual narratives.
Highlights
• Walk the ancient sacbé linking Kabah and Uxmal, a ceremonial road of the Maya world.
• Create your own handcrafted piece using pre-Hispanic pottery and codex-painting techniques.
• Enjoy authentic Pibil cuisine, traditionally cooked underground and served in a family-run local setting.

Great day exploring Yucatan

5.00We had a great day on the Puuc route with Gabriel and Jorge, our guides and driver. They took us to visit wonderful sites like Uxmal, Kabah and Sayil. Gabriel explained in detail the history, architecture and some legend. He has a deep knowledge of the area, of history, but above all, a great passion for Yucatán and its history. The vehicle they took us in was very comfortable, clean and the driving was safe throughout. I highly recommend it to those who want to explore and be served in the best way.
5/5 private tour

5.00The private tour of Kabah, Uxmal and the Mayan workshop has received very good reviews. The organization is clear, the guides know how to explain without making it heavy and the tour usually has a comfortable pace. Both the archaeological areas and the workshop are well maintained and a professional service is appreciated. In general, it is a recommended option for those who want to know the area quietly and more personalized.

5.00This private tour exceeded all expectations. Exploring Kabah and Uxmal offered a powerful connection to Mayan history, with breathtaking architecture and stories that truly come to life. The Mayan Workshop was an unforgettable highlight—authentic, and deeply meaningful. A beautifully curated experience that blends culture, history, and emotion. Highly recommended.

5.00Well worth it!. They picked us up from our AirB&B (we were outside of centro). The van was very comfortable. Our guide was Blanca. She was very knowledgeable and accomodating. Going to the ruins with a guide was a great experience, much better than going alone. And the pottery painting was really fun!
Excellent tour of Yucatán Mayan ruins.

5.00This tour took me from Merida to the Mayan ruins at Uxmal and Kabah. Uxmal is the larger of the two Mayan cities and actually seemed larger than the more commonly visited Chichen Itza. Kabah is about 30 min from Uxmal and has its own unique architecture which makes it worth the visit. My guide here really made the whole experience make sense in the historical context. I really appreciate the knowledge of history and the insights which were provided in this tour. The tour included a stop at an amazing local restaurant and I even though I can’t recall whether the price was included, the stop was well worth the time and price as the food was amazing. I highly recommend this tour if you like history, ancient ruins, an informative guide and amazing food.
Kabah and Uxmal, impressive archaeological sites, highly recommended.

5.00We wanted to get to know Uxmal and Kabah as part of the puuc route, so we chose this private tour without knowing what the craft workshop was about. The whole tour was just wonderful, we had a sunny day, the guide super good, friendly, attentive and fun, we learned a lot from the Mayan history. They took us to eat at a typical place in the area where we ate the best piggyback of the trip. The best thing was the Mayan codice painting workshop, Mrs. Maya very cute and patient taught us how and why the ancient Mayans drew their story and we learned about Mayan writing. We definitely recommend it, you will not regret it. Thank you to the agency for adapting to our changes and pleasing us in everything we ask.
