On this Progreso Uxmal Mayan Ruins Full Day Excursion, you'll explore the beauty, mystery, and sanctity of one of the world's greatest reflections of ancient Mayan civilization. Bring your curiosity, imagination, and camera to capture the memories that will last a lifetime.

Once your ship has docked in Progreso, you will meet the guide right outside the terminal. Upon meeting your professional, English-speaking guide, you will board the comfortable, air-conditioned transportation for the hour ride to Uxmal. As you make your journey deep into the heart of the Yucatan, your guide will provide insight into the Mayan culture, Uxmal ruins, and the entire peninsula. As an excellent reflection of Mayan architecture, Uxmal has been named a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Following the "Sacbe's", and ancient roads made from white crushed stone, you will encounter the intricately carved facades, plazas, and pyramids on the grounds that make this such a special place. In addition to the palace of the Governor, Ball Court, House of Turtles, and Nun's Quadrangle, you will visit the Pyramid of the Dwarf, said to have been magically constructed overnight by a dwarf in response to a challenge issued by the governor/ruler of Uxmal as noted by author John Stephen's in his book "Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas, and Yucatan".

Heightening the mystery and sanctity of Uxmal, it is said Chaac, the Mayan god of rain, delivered a sudden torrential downpour out of clear blue skies during the site's grand opening as the sound system rendered a Mayan prayer beckoning him. 

Upon the completion of this guided Progreso excursion, your guide will lead you back to your transportation back to your Progreso cruise terminal.

We had a cruise port at Progresso the instruction on the print out were straight forward and really easy. The guide service meet up was easy and quick. Our guide Guam was super knowledgeable and we could tell how proud he was of the area and culture. The ruins were more than we expected. We loved touring them and were surprised how big the area was and how much there was to see!!

Returning from our 5-day cruise and took this tour with our family of 9. I was unsure of bringing my grandchildren to the excursion, surprisingly we all enjoyed the tour and learn a lot about the Mayan culture (things they never learn at school) Our guide was very informative and give us a lot of information beforehand on our way to the ruins. He always had a wise answer to our questions. Highly recommend it!

Just getting back from our recent cruise visiting the Western Caribbean and had a great time on this tour. First time visiting the Mayan Ruins and I am amazed of their pyramids, Mayan histories, and culture. I was scared about getting back on time to our cruise but, our guide assured us will make it on time. Yes, we did make it back in plenty of time and will use you guys for our next cruise journey.

First time visiting this port and hard to decide which of the two biggest Mayan Ruins to visit. We choose to visit Uxmal and made a perfect choice. The main temple is magnificent. We learn a lot about the Mayan Culture and customs. Once again Shore Excursioneer make it possible and we return to the port with plenty of time before the ship departure.

Juan is an amazing tour guide! He was very informative. I feel like we learned a lot more than we would have in a bigger group. He also took care to pace our tour so that my mother could keep up. Taking this tour was the right decision for us.
