Journey with us to one the best kept secrets of the Mayan world.

Tucked away in the lush jungle of the Yucatan peninsula, Ek Balam is considered one of the most beautiful of all uncovered Mayan cities and most definitely one of the best preserved.

On this comprehensive discovery our expert guides will show and explain everything about Mayan culture, the various majestic structures and the impressive glyphs decorating the ancient walls of this once influential metropole. 

The highlight of the visit is climbing the acropolis, the last resting place of King Ukit Kan Lek Tok, from which, on a clear day, you can see as far as the pyramids of Coba and Chichen.

After the guided tour you will have ample opportunity to roam the grounds on your own, and enjoying a box lunch and refreshing beverage on board while returning back to your hotel.
