Chichen
Itza Full Day Excursion ($195.00 CAD) August program
ONLY |
The ancient Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza are
Mexico’s most famous archaeological site.
It is the best example of the Mayan Civilization
and is an essential element in understanding
the culture. Located in the Yucatan, Chichen
Itza offers a well preserved and dramatic example
of a Mayan City which is both beautiful and
easily understood. A visit here compliments
the local sites in Cozumel.
Our full day excursion starts with a boat trip
from Cozumel to the mainland and a coach trip
of about 2 hours to Chichen Itza. We will have
lunch at the site and have a private tour that
will bring it alive. Castillo de Kukulkan,
which means the Castle of Kukulkan, the feathered
Serpent God, is probably the most recognized
pyramid in the world. Incredibly, this pyramid
has four stairways each with 91 steps plus one
step at the top which is common to all four
sides for a total of exactly 365 steps - the
exact number of days in a solar year.
On the return trip, we will stop at one of
the Mayan Riviera’s famed cenotes
(sinkhole) for a fresh water swim beneath waterfalls
and vines before boarding our boat and returning
to our island home on Cozumel.

| Tulum
& Playa del Carmen Full Day Excursion ($110.00
CAD) |
 Our
full day excursion begins early with a ferry
ride from Cozumel to Playa del Carmen. From
there we board a coach and drive to the famous
Mayan ruins of Tulum.
Tulum, meaning fence or wall, is the only walled
city on the Caribbean. It was built by the Mayans
and has a very dramatic location because it
is built on a cliffside overlooking the Caribbean
Sea. Its Temple of Frescoes and beautiful wall
paintings makes it one of the most visited historic
sites in Mexico.
After our tour we will have a chance to swim
and relax on the beautiful white sandy beach.
We will then drive back to Playa del Carmen
and enjoy a free afternoon for lunch, shopping
and exploring this beach side city. There are
many shops along 5th Avenue (Quinto Avenida)
offering many items to take home as souvenirs.
From here we will board the ferry and return
to Cozumel in time for dinner at the hotel.

We are spending our summer in one of the most
beautiful and pristine ecosystems in the Americas
but we are also living in a community where
people and places are in need of help. Under
the direction and supervision of our staff,
students will have opportunities to contribute
and aid our host community. Past years’
community service projects have included teaching
local children, painting a school and surveying
a reef to establish the environmental impact
of cruise ships coming to Cozumel.
The hours you accumulate on this program can
be used towards the 40 hours required to graduate
from secondary school. The main reward of this
program will be your sense of contact with the
community and the pleasure of giving back.
