It's whatever you want it to be for a day, a week or a month.

After a day of sightseeing, perhaps dinner in Merida, come back for a rest in our living room where you can watch TV, choose from a library of video movies, or simply put up your feet and do absolutely nothing.

Then, sink back into your comfortable bed and drift off into the sleep of the totally relaxed. Buenos noches!

From Merida, you can choose from a number of well organized day trips to the fascinating ruin sites of the ancient Maya.

You will fall in love with the Yucatan as we did.

Your Mayan Adventure:

Contemporary with Moses leading the Israelites to the Promised Land, the Mayan people created a civilization which, for the splendour of its architecture, matches anything from ancient Egypt.

For 2,000 years this civilization grew and prospered, reaching its peak about 9OO AD... at which time it collapsed, utterly, for reasons still not entirely understood.

But its legacy remains... a fascinating spectacle of ancient cities across the Yucatan peninsula, where the ruins of magnificent pyramids and temples can be explored, and their atmosphere savoured.

In Ka'an is strategically located to be your base for exploring the ruins. Easy day trips will let you experience such famous locations as Chichen-ltza, Uxmal, and Kabah.

We'll help you plan your trip, whether by excursion bus or your own car. We'll provide you with bus times and highway routes, and, at a modest cost, a box lunch to sustain you. Also we can equip you with literature about the sites of your choice.
