Itinerary

  • Ek Balam

    The ancient city of Ek Balam, named after its last governor, Black Jaguar, is one of the last discovered Mayan cities and opened to the public only recently. You will see the places where sacrifices were performed, climb the Acropolis - the governor’s palace, considered the biggest Mayan monument so far, and try to resolve the altar’s mystery, which guards the entrance to the kingdom of dead.

    2 hours

  • N/A

    The biosphere reserve Ria Lagartos, where we will wade through the mangroves on small boats, observing flocks of flamingos, Cayman crocodiles and other inhabitants of the reserve searching of the symbol of good luck – the "sea cockroach".

    2 hours

  • Las Coloradas

    Las Coloradas. It’s a valley of pink lakes. Due to the high content of minerals and salts, the water gains a special pink color and its consistency is like one of the Dead Sea.

Amazing day out

Published on May, 2024

Fantastic day out and our driver had amazing knowledge of all places we visited. Pink lakes were stunning.

Great Day trip from Cancun! Worth the cost

Published on Dec, 2022

This was a fun excursion, I was hesitant as there weren't many reviews here. Our tour guide Abraham was very knowledgeable and friendly. Transportation was in a private Mercedes and everything was included: admissions, fees, tolls, etc. We went on a boat ride, toured the pink water area, toured and climbed the Mayan Ruin, and toured a tequila distillery. Definitely an off-the-beaten path tour and it was nice to do it privately with a very knowledeable guide in an elevated experience. Lunch was included.

amazing pink lake！

Published on Feb, 2018

it was a nice private trip! We thought it was a bus tour with someone else. But it was private and just us having a Benz!
