Itinerary

  • Ek Balam

    You will visit the famous archaeological site, lost in the jungle - Ek Balam (translated from the Mayan language "black jaguar"), where you will see the mysterious sculpture "angels" who guard the entrance to the "kingdom of the dead" in the form of the mouth of a rattlesnake. From the Preclassic until the Postclassic period, it was the seat of a Mayan kingdom. The site is noted for the preservation of the plaster on the tomb of Ukit-Kan-Lek-Tok, a king buried in the side of the largest pyramid.

    1 hour

  • Temple of the Warriors

    Then you will visit the "New 7th Wonder of the World", one of the last cities of mysteriously vanished Maya civilization

    20 minutes

  • Chichen Itza

  • Cenote Ik kil

    Later you will swim in a beautiful cenote with crystal clear water, surrounded by exotic plants and magical singing of wild birds. It's a natural pit, or sinkhole, resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath. Especially associated with the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, cenotes were sometimes used by the ancient Maya for sacrificial offerings. Cenote water is often very clear, as the water comes from rain water filtering slowly through the ground, and therefore contains very little suspended particulate matter.

The most wonderful tour...

Published on Mar, 2022

The most wonderful tour and an exceptional guide! We had so much fun visiting Chichen Itza and swimming in the cenote.

Must do!

Published on Jul, 2021

Such a great excursion, Emilio and Willy were absolutely amazing. We had the best time the Cenotes were better than we imagined and Chichén Itza and Ek Balam are incredible. Emilio is so knowledgeable and it’s fun hearing about his culture.

Ek Balam and Chichen Itza tour

Published on Jun, 2021

It’s ambitious to fit this much in one day but it was a really excellent mix of activities and if we hadn’t have been stuck in traffic for an additional two hours at the end of the day it would have been pretty easy. The guide and driver were great (JJ and Carlos). JJ has a ton of knowledge! Only change would be to skip the shopping stop even though it was a good place to shop, but it cut into the cenote time. Also JJ didn’t have a solid plan for lunch and the buffet at the Ik Kil cenote looked pretty meh so we just did the snack bar.

Roberto was a great guide. Very...

Roberto was a great guide. Very knowledgeable in the Mexican/Mayan history. We had a great day visiting all three sites. Make sure you have good walking shoes for climbing the steps at Ek Balam Cenote...

This tour was fantastic! Our driver...

Published on Nov, 2016

This tour was fantastic! Our driver was Adrian and our guide was Alberto. We were so fortunate to have them as our guides. As it was a private tour, they went at a pace we chose and customized the tour for us giving offering many options. Alberto was so knowledgeable and provided us the history of all the places we visited. We were able to spend as much time as we wanted for things that interested us. We were also able to swim in the Cenote which was also a great experience. Ek Balam was smaller and less crowded. Although there were a few vendors they were all located in one area and were very pleasant people. Chichen Itza was extremely interesting and facinating, learning the Mayan culture and beliefs. The biggest drawback were the hundreds of vendors that lined the walkways, sometimes blocking the paths and harassing the tourists. Alfredo informed us why this was occurring and the park itself had no control over the vendors. Overall, although it was a long day, it was extremely enjoyable! If you go on this tour please request Alfredo and Adrian!
