Fantastic! Do it!

Published on Oct, 2024

The Mayan statues at the top of the temple are worth the trip. The cenote was very refreshing after the heat of the jungle!

Amazing

Published on May, 2024

El Balam was amazing and the tour guide Jesus Cuevas was very well versed on that and all of the Maya history.

It's a must

Published on Apr, 2024

Ek Balaam was the best especialy with the knowledge of our guide Jésus. I learned do much about the Mayas, their cultures, and survival up to today.

A day filled with information and experiences

Published on Apr, 2024

There is a lot packed into this day, and nothing I would leave out! Ek Balam is smaller and less known than Chichen Itza, but it has the advantage (?) that you are allowed to climb the steep steps of the pyramid. As my kids say, "if the climb up doesn't give you a heart attack, the climb down will!" This is a "must see" for anyone interested in the pre-Hispanic civilizations. The swim in the Cenote was refreshing, and the stops in Uayma and Vallidolid rounded out a diverse set of experiences. Our tour guide, Jesus Cuevas, provided information, photos, maps, and videos along that way that ensured our time en route in the van was not wasted!

Great tour after bigger names done

Published on Feb, 2024

Having seen Chichen Itza, and Tulum, I wanted something different. This tour was fantastic. Guide Jesus is Mayan, and conveyed great info during the trip. Cenote and ruins were fantastic!
