It is about 3 hours drive from Playa but it is totally worth it. Maybe worth spending the night there, but if you leave around 7 am, getting there at 10 is just fine. There are some good local restaurants too.

No presentation needed, I think. Ah! just a tip, get a certified tour guy. The private ones sometimes just say whatever it comes to their minds.
