Overview

Operated by Senor Travel Bug, this is a variation on the 'classic' tour from Cancun and the Riviera Maya, replacing a visit to a cenote with a visit to a second Mayan archaeological site, Ek Balam. Get to know Mexico's Modern Wonder of the World, Chichen Itza, learning about a wide range of Mayan architectural, scientific and astronomical achievements. After spending the time you want at Chichen Itza, continue to Ek Balam, a second Mayan archaeological site and experience Mayan buildings in a very different way. Climb a pyramid, enter Mayan rooms within a temple and the palace, and see a totally different style of sculpture (stucco rather than stone) and see examples of Mayan glyphs, the first written language of the Americas. Finally, visit Valladolid, a Spanish colonial town with quaint streets, boutique shops and a cathedral on its charming main square. Choose the VW Beetle or a modern car, and the tour includes all photos by a former professional photographer at the end of the day.
