Overview

Spend some time beyond Cancun exploring Ek Balam, one of the Yucatán's newer excavation sites. Embark on a guided tour of this ancient Mayan wonder, learning its history, wandering among its plazas and even scaling its main pyramid for incredible jungle views. Then continue on to Cenote Maya Park, where your choices for adventure are endless. Take a refreshing dip in natural pool, zipline through tropical forest canopy, rappel into a cave or shop for handmade Maya crafts. Savor a delicious meal of traditional Maya eats before returning to Cancun.
  • Cancun day trip to Ek Balam and Cenote Maya Park
  • Tour Ek Balam, one of the more recently excavated Maya sites on the Yucatán Peninsula
  • Discover an array of temples and climb the pyramid of Acropolis
  • Swim in beautiful cenotes and enjoy a variety of outdoor activities like rappelling and ziplining at the park
  • Experience a blessing from a Maya shaman and visit a traditional artisan market
  • Gain insight into Ek Balam’s history and Maya rituals from a knowledgeable guide
  • Maya buffet lunch and round-trip transport from most Cancun hotels included

Why Travelers Choose This Tour

As one of the more recently excavated sites, Ek Balam is less crowded than Chichen Itza and Tulum, allowing you to experience the city in relative peace. And unlike the pyramids of Chichen Itza and Tulum, you’re allowed to climb up Ek Balam’s main pyramid of Acropolis.

This tour was great. We had a small hiccup for the pick up because we booked it the day before and didn't confirm hotel pick up, so we waited for an hr before they come and got us, but they were courteous about it. Our guide was pretty knowledgeable. Our group was pretty small, only about 8 people including us. Ek Balam was great, but the best part was the Cenote. We were able to go down the cenote Indiana Jones style. It was so much fun. Lunch was ok, it was traditional Mayan food, I didn't care for it much, but my boyfriend loved it. overall, this tour was really good.

The tour was nice. The Cenote Maya Park was fun, repelling was great. This tour does not offer a lot of information about Ek Balam compared to some of the other tours. The tour had more people than we would have preferred. The food was amazing. I highly recommend the rice milk. We plan to return with a smaller company to Ek Balam for more information and time.

This tour was so much more than we expected! Nicholas was our guide and he was fantastic! It is a long day, but worth every minute. We loved seeing Ek Balam and our guide, William, was fantastic. The cenote swim was so much fun! This experience was a highlight of our vacation!
