About this experience
Travel with us to one of the best kept secrets of the Mayan world. Hidden in the lush jungle of the Yucatan Peninsula, Ek Balam is considered one of the most beautiful Mayan cities and, without a doubt, one of the best preserved.
During this tour our expert guides will show you and explain everything about the Mayan culture, the various majestic structures and the impressive hieroglyphs that decorate the ancient walls of this metropolis, which at the time was of great influence.
The highlight of the visit is to climb the Acropolis, where the tomb of King Ukit Kan Lek Tok is located, from which, on a clear day, you can see the pyramids of Coba and Chichen Itza.
