The ancient Mayan site of Uxmal offers three standout touring options that really deliver. The basic 2-hour Walking Tour hits all the must-sees efficiently, including the dramatic Pyramid of the Magician and the detailed Governor’s Palace. For something special, I love the Private Plantations Tour – riding in a classic Land Rover and exploring Hacienda Uxmal feels like time travel, plus you get to taste local fruits straight from the source. History buffs will appreciate the comprehensive 2-day regional tour combining Uxmal with heavy-hitters like Chichen-Itza and Izamal. Wear sturdy shoes, bring sun protection, and don’t forget your camera. Let’s look at the best tour options in detail.
