Uxmal, Kabah and Chocolate Museum Tour From Merida

Start your tour with a visit to the Uxmal archaeological site. Walk through the structures that highlight the Puuc style of the area and hold mysteries and legends. Next, visit the Kabah archaeological site, known as the second-largest religious center in the Puuc style.

The name Kabáh comes from the Yucatec Maya kab, meaning hand, and ah, which refers to the pronoun he. It is translated as "The lord of the strong and powerful hand." End your tour at the Choco Story museum. Learn about the ancient history of cacao, from its origins, distribution, and uses around the world, to the ancient Maya methods of preparation. Walk through the museum and visit the botanical gardens with cacao trees. Complement your visit with a tour of the animal refuge, where you can admire rescued endemic fauna. Visit the meliponary and an area of games for children.
