    Wonderful from start to finish

    It was spectacular from start to finish. Our guide was Kuman and he explained things to us in great detail. We really appreciated that we were the only ones who had booked the tour, and even so they didn't cancel it on us and it was a private tour (without increasing the cost), so we valued that a lot since there are many that cancel if there is no one else signed up. Uxmal is very much worth it if you are in Mérida, and the cenotes at the Hacienda are the most beautiful in Yucatán without a doubt. I would recommend this tour if you are around Mérida, especially because of our guide Kumal. We would do it again without a doubt!!!

    Response from the operator: Reciba un cálido saludo desde Rutas Turísticas Yucatán. Muchas gracias por regalarnos un poco de su tiempo para compartir su experiencia en nuestro tour. Debo decir, fue todo un honor haber sido sus guías a trávez del mundo Maya. Compartiré sus amables comentarios con nuestro guía Kumen, estará iguamente complacido. Por favor no dude en contactarno en una segunda visita a Mérida, nos encantará poder sorprenderlos con una nueva experiencia. Sinceramente... Marvin Robles, Founder RTY

    Visit to Uxmal and Mucuyche

    A totally recommended experience! We took the tour from Mérida to visit the Uxmal archaeological site and see two cenotes, and it was truly a spectacular day. Uxmal is impressive, and learning about its history and architecture made the visit even more special. Afterward, visiting the cenotes was the perfect complement: beautiful places, incredible nature, and an experience that is definitely worth having. The whole tour was very well organized, and we enjoyed every part of the tour immensely. If you are in Mérida and are looking for something different to get to know the cultural and natural wealth of Yucatán, don't think twice: this tour is an excellent option. We definitely recommend it and would do it again!

    You can't miss it for the world

    I was in Merida for a few days and had my doubts about taking this route, but Uxmal is spectacular and the cenotes are amazing, Mayan blue cenote is the most amazing thing about the place

    Uxmal and Mucuyche with 2 cenotes, from Merida: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Merida.

    How much does Uxmal and Mucuyche with 2 cenotes, from Merida cost?

    +

    Prices start at $108 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Merida usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Uxmal and Mucuyche with 2 cenotes, from Merida take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Merida is not rushed.

    Is Uxmal and Mucuyche with 2 cenotes, from Merida worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Merida, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Uxmal and Mucuyche with 2 cenotes, from Merida?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Uxmal and Mucuyche with 2 cenotes, from Merida suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Uxmal and Mucuyche with 2 cenotes, from Merida?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Merida can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Merida and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Uxmal and Mucuyche with 2 cenotes, from Merida start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Merida within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    +

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Merida?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Merida?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
