Overview

Visit Chichén Itzá, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Ek Balam, and swim in a cenote in one day!

You will be one of the first visitors of the day to explore Ek Balam, probably one of the most important places in the Tlalol kingdom. Climb the pyramids to have a panoramic view of the Mayan jungle. After knowing all the secrets of this archeological site, you’ll have free time to explore on your own.

Visit one of the seven wonders of the modern world Chichen. With knowledge of archeology and Mayan culture, it will be easy for you to imagine how the Mayans once inhabited this city. As we stroll through the well-preserved ruins we will tell you about Mayan mythology, philosophy, and cosmology, to gain a deep understanding of the meaning behind the stone sculptures and platforms.

Then we are ready to taste a fantastic Mexican buffet lunch. Have a break in the Cenote Chichi Kan and get over the heat with a refreshing swim right next to its waterfall.
