What you can expect

Embark on a mesmerising 10-hour expedition from Mérida, unraveling the mysteries of the ancient Mayan world. Your journey begins with a 170 km route to the east of Yucatán, leading to the archaeological zone of Ek Balam. Enter through a completely restored Mayan arch, the gateway to this walled city, where you'll explore structures and ascend the best-preserved acropolis standing at 32 metres high.

The Ek Balam acropolis features a striking façade with large fangs resembling the mouth of a mythical creature, representing the entrance to the underworld. Climb to the fourth level to witness the impressive relief and explore the tomb of a great Mayan lord. Marvel at the famous winged warriors flanking the façade, rounded corners in temples like the Oval Palace, and the Ball Court and Twin Pyramids.

Journey to X'Canché, a captivating open-type cenote, choosing between a Yucatecan Tuk Tuk or an adventurous walk or bicycle ride through the Mayan jungle. Descend wooden stairs into the cenote, swim beneath the waterfall, and partake in exhilarating activities like zip-lining, rappelling, and the tarzan rope.

Support local communities and sustainable ecotourism with the activities at X'Canché. Before reaching Valladolid, pause for a gastronomic stop at the Xbatún Mayan Village, savouring typical dishes prepared with ancient Mayan techniques.

The adventure concludes at Chichen Itzá, a Wonder of the World since 2007. Your certified expert guide unveils the history behind this ancient Mayan city, focusing on the pyramid of Kukulkan. Learn about the equinox phenomenon, where natural light creates the appearance of a descending snake during spring and autumn.

As the day concludes, board the private transport for your return to Mérida, supported by the knowledge of Mayan history, a sense of adventure, and memories of the wonders you've encountered.
