Home to Mayan people from all areas of the Yucatan Peninsula. It&#8217;s believed that Chich\u00e9n Itz\u00e1 was so prominent due to being so close to the Xtoloc cenote &#8211; a source of fresh water.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Take a guided tour.

One of the top things you&#8217;ll find to do when researching what to do on this island, and building this Riviera Maya itinerary is no different, is renting a golf cart. Yep. You read that right. Jump in a golf cart for the day and drive around the island. You could ride around the whole island in 30 minutes, but there&#8217;s no fun in that. In the south you can pay a visit to the <strong>statue of Ixchel<\/strong>, which according to Mayan history, is the goddess of fertility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Take a ride over to <strong>Garrafon park<\/strong> &#8211; an activity park found on the south of the island, close to Punta Sur. You&#8217;ll find the perfect chance to soak up the adventure. Starting with the most amazing snorkelling spots, but you can also expect to try out zip-lining, kayaking and biking.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;ve worked up an appetite, why not treat yourself to lunch on the beach? It&#8217;s said that the best beaches are in the northern part of the island, so hop in your golf cart and head north. You&#8217;ll find plenty of <strong>bars and restaurants<\/strong> to choose from along the coastline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<!-- wp:embed {\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BXlzjldABxc\/\",\"type\":\"rich\",\"providerNameSlug\":\"instagram\",\"responsive\":true} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BXlzjldABxc\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Will you dare to jump in from the top, or take an easy swim in the spring water? After a couple of hours enjoying the uniqueness of a Cenote, take a boat out to the Mesoamerican reef, where you can snorkel and explore part of the 625-mile coral reef.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_six_Chill_out\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #8615e3;\">Day six: Chill out<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>A busy day snorkelling and swimming yesterday calls for a lazy day.
