Chichén Itzá & Ek Balam Day Trip
Upon collecting you from your accommodation at the agreed-upon time, we will journey into the heart of the Yucatán Peninsula to explore one of Mexico's renowned archaeological landmarks: Chichén Itzá.
Once we arrive, you'll be awestruck by the magnificent Temple of Kukulcán, celebrated as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. This pyramid features grand stairways, behind which lie centuries of rich history...
During our visit, we will also explore the Great Ball Court, the Venus Temple, and the Temple of the Warriors, which are flanked by two immense serpent sculptures. At the observatory, we’ll delve into how the Itzaes used equinoxes, sunsets, solstices, and the stars to make critical decisions.
After this enlightening visit, we will continue our adventure to the Hubiku Cenote. Here, you can take a refreshing swim in this stunning 200-foot (60-meter) deep well filled with crystal-clear waters. The Maya believed this site to be a gateway to the underworld... While enjoying this picturesque locale, you'll also be treated to a delicious Yucatecan lunch. Bon appétit! Afterward, you can visit the nearby tequila museum.
Our journey then takes us to the ancient Mayan city of Ek Balam, which dates back to 300 BC. We will immerse ourselves in its various areas, including the Entrance Arch, the ceremonial center, the Oval Palace, and the Ballcourt, all of which are remarkably well-preserved.
Next, we’ll stop at the tomb of Ukit Kan Le'k Tok' to appreciate the intricacy of the frieze that adorns its facade and uncover the intriguing history behind its two pyramids.
After 12 hours steeped in culture and history, we will return to the starting point, where we’ll conclude our adventure and bid farewell.
