Cosa aspettarsi

Dive into an epic adventure at the ancient Maya ruins of Ek' Balam with some adrenaline fun packed in too. You'll get to step back in time at this archaeological site, followed by ziplining and cenote swimming at Hacienda Chukum, a buffet lunch of regional classics, and a visit to Valladolid. Maria, one of our local guides, says, ‘Known as the ‘Black Jaguar' or ‘Star Jaguar', it's not every day you get to see such massive structures and what makes Ek Balam unique are its unique double walls that encircle the central area'.

At Ek' Balam, get ready for a blast into Maya history discovering over 40 structures, with the opportunity to climb several monuments. Prepare to be wowed by pyramids and the towering acropolis, offering epic shots of the site and surrounding lush jungle. Next up, let's kick the adventure up a notch at Hacienda Chukum. This isn't your typical stop – it's a jungle hideout with a cenote where you can swim or zip line across the cavern. Your guide will share snorkelling tips and fun facts about the local flora and fauna around you.

After all that action, it's time to refuel with a delicious buffet of regional favourites in an open-air restaurant. Savour dishes like pulled pork, spicy fish, and tortillas, plus some sweet treats to top it off. Our day wraps up in Valladolid, a town oozing with Insta-worthy Spanish vibes, colourful mansions, and quaint cobblestone streets. Enjoy some leisure time to explore, take photos at the Municipal Palace and soak up the laid-back atmosphere in the main plaza before heading back.

    Très ********** excursion avec Paolino le guide et Pedro le chauffeur. Le site d' Ek Balam est magnifique, il faut juste être en forme pour monter les marches. La cénote est sublime avec sa tyrolienne qui arrive dans l'eau. Nous avons très bien mangé au restaurant. Le temps libre à Valladolid est un peu court.

    Le site archéologique et le Cenote étaient stupéfiants et très appréciables à visiter. Le repas était copieux et le guide était excellent. Le point bloquant est le peu de temps sur chaque site afin de pouvoir faire des achats. Cette remarque s'adresse essentiellement pour la visite de la ville: 30 min est très insuffisant.
