Ek Balam Express Mayan Ruins Tour from Cancun and Riviera Maya

1 day
About this activity
After hotel pickup, you'll head to discover two wonderful sites in the Riviera Maya.
Ek’Balam
This archaeological site is one of the most impressive ceremonial centers of the Yucatan Peninsula. Here, you will witness the incredible decoration of temples and plazas. Admire the unique sculptures in high relief that have surprised archaeologists and visitors. These sculptures support the recently restored Jaguar Mouth sculpture in the front of the main temple. Walk through the ball game (Pok Ta Pok) and the false arch, both are architectural icons of the Maya culture.
Come and live a truly different experience! Enjoy one of the best artistic and technological representations of the Mayan culture. Explore the treasures and mysteries of Ek Balam, the walled city and one of the best preserved sites that you are still allowed to climb, during a half day expedition. Get on top of the acropolis to enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of this temple complex and its surrounding jungle, while listening to the extraordinary stories of its constructions, full of art, technology and mysticism. After this visit you’ll travel to Valladolid, a colonial town full of Spanish conquest history which shows its effect in every corner and local culture.
