Visit two significant Mayan archaeological sites in Mexico on our Chichén Itzá & Ek Balam Day Trip. This excursion highlights the historical importance of these sites.

Chichén Itzá & Ek Balam Day Trip

We begin by picking you up from your hotel and traveling to the Yucatán Peninsula to visit Chichén Itzá, one of Mexico's renowned archaeological sites.

Upon arrival, we will see the Temple of Kukulcán, recognized as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. This pyramid features large staircases that hide centuries of history.

We will also visit the Great Ball Court, the Venus Temple, and the Temple of the Warriors, which is flanked by serpent sculptures. At the observatory, learn how the Itzaes utilized equinoxes and stars for decision-making.

Next, we will head to Hubiku Cenote for swimming in its crystal-clear waters, which is approximately 200 feet (60 meters) deep. A Yucatecan lunch will be provided here, and there is an option to visit the tequila museum.

Following this, we will explore Ek Balam, a Mayan city dating back to 300 BC. Highlights include the Entrance Arch, ceremonial center, Oval Palace, and Ballcourt, all well-preserved.

We will stop at the tomb of Ukit Kan Le'k Tok' to view the detailed frieze and learn about its pyramids.

After 12 hours of cultural exploration, we will return to your original location for farewells.
