Overview

Ek Balam, a Mayan city over 1000 years old, was a major capital. Named after Ek Balam, its founder in 300 B.C., it thrived under Ukit Kan Lek Tok, who adorned it with enduring murals and facades. Enjoy stunning views from its main structure. After exploring the site, a cultural pause awaits. Witness craft-making, savor handmade tortillas, Xtabentun, and a shaman's blessing. Indulge in a diverse Yucatan-style feast. End with a swim in a cenote, a historic water source. Absorb energy in this mystical spot. Try the exhilarating rappel into the cenote's interior. Enjoy every moment.

A Must See

Published on May, 2024

This tour is a must. There were a few hiccups that were completely out of the operators control but they handled it well and kept us on track. Our guide was very helpful and informative. This is a very long day so come prepared.

A great tour

We had a wonderful time on this tour!! Francesco our guide grew up here is of mayan decent and gave great explanation of everything!! The walking thru ruins was a wonderful experience with reaching the acropolis as the grand finale!! Ek Balam is not crowded and so interesting!!! The centote was beautiful and fun so refreshing on a hot day too!! Lunch was served as a buffet and was very good. There are crafter that toy can buy from there too Diego was our driver her got us there safely and stayed with the van and our things

Ek Balam ruins and cenote- a must see!

Published on Mar, 2024

Ek Balam and the cenote! Unforgettable experience! Highly recommend this tour from Cancun Adventures. Thank you guide, Nestor and driver Javi.

The ruins were great but...

Published on Jan, 2024

The ruins were great but the time at the shopping outlet was a bore. I do understand that the local people need the money but I would not ever choose to go to such a place.

Amazing Ek Balam and Cenote Secreto Maya!

Published on Dec, 2023

Ek Balam is far less crowded than other sites. Our guides were courteous and knowledgeable. The cenote offered rappelling and zip lining which were both really fun. I enjoyed not having to wear a mandatory life jacket like we've had to at other cenotes.
