About this activity
Marvel at the legacy of an ancient civilization, as you explore the past, present and future of Mayan culture.
The peaceful and inspiring Mayan temples of Ek Balam were once at the center of an important kingdom. The site contains some wonderfully conserved monuments and exceptional architecture, that make the perfect setting to learn about the fascinating culture and way of life led by the ancient inhabitants of the Yucatan, far from the crowds of tourists who amass elsewhere.
After a cool dip in the waters of a pristine cenote, you will take an afternoon walk through the charming city of Valladolid. The parks and plazas, the colonial streets, the city cenote, the market and chapels are full of color, offering a look at local crafts, samples of the tastiest regional cuisine and great photo opportunities of Mexican life.
