What to expect

Be one of the first visitors of the day to explore Ek Balam, one of the most important places in the Tlalol kingdom. Climb the pyramids to admire a panoramic view of the Mayan jungle at your feet and learn all the secrets of this archeological site, before spending some free time exploring on your own.

While on this tour, you'll visit one of the seven wonders of the modern world, Chichen Itza. With knowledge of archeology and Mayan culture, it will be easy for you to imagine how the Mayans once inhabited this city. As you stroll through the well-preserved ruins, the guide will tell you about Mayan mythology, philosophy, and cosmology, to understand the meaning behind the stone sculptures and platforms.

After admiring the views, you'll be made to taste a fantastic Mexican buffet lunch. To end your trip, you'll have a break in the cenote Chichi Kan and get over the heat with a refreshing swim right next to its waterfall.
