Afterwards, we will be ready to enter into the archaeological site by the private entrance of the Mayaland Hotel. Once inside, we will divide into English and Spanish speaking groups and take an hour and a half guided tour with a certified guide that will talk to us about the history and secrets of the Mayans and will point out the most important places. Then we’ll enjoy free time to walk around, climb El Castillo or take some pictures as well as use all the Mayaland facilities such as the swimming pool, lounge chairs, sun beds, towels and 2 for 1 in the evenings at the bar.
Then we will get together again to see the Light and Sound show that begins at 8:00 pm in spring and summer and 7:00 pm in autumn & winter where you can listen** and admire a projected light shadow over the architectonic elements of the building that resemble a serpent descending to the ground (equinox show), Mayan warriors playing the ball game and the sound of death and life. This is an exciting show full of history, light effects and awesome ancestry.
