About this experience

Our LDS tours are designed to bring the Book of Mormon to life. Our tour guides will not only provide an in-depth and detailed discussion of the history and symbolism of the ruins but most importantly, explain how they correlate to passages and teachings from the scriptures. Learn about the latest theories and research that place Mesoamerica as the top candidate for the setting of the Book of Mormon.

Itinerary and highlights

After a 1.5hr drive, we arrive to our first stop: Ek Balam. Enjoy a fabulous guided tour of the site and learn about the possible connections to the Book of Mormon. Climb temples, walk through chambers and tunnels, and don't forget to see the Statue Angels.

Next, we arrive at Cenote Hubiku, our favorite underground cenote near Temozon. But before jumping in to swim, we head over the buffet for a delicious feast of local specialties. Try a variety of local recipes including: cochinita pibil, ceviche, lime soup, guacamole, and more.

Once you are finished, enjoy a resfreshing swim in a natural underground river, known by locals as "cenotes".
