What you can expect

Join us on an immersive 10-hour journey through the enchanting Mayan jungle, departing from Mérida. Our first destination is the archaeological zone of Ek Balam, where you'll traverse the white roads or “Sacbés” and enter through a fully restored Mayan arch. Explore the walled city, ascend the acropolis, and marvel at the oval palace, ball court, and twin pyramids.

Ek Balam, situated between two cenotes, boasts a rich history, and we include a visit to the X'Canché cenote. Choose to walk or bike the 1.5 km sacbé or enjoy a Yucatecan Tuk Tuk ride. At X'Canché, descend wooden stairs into the cenote, swim, and opt for adventurous activities like rappelling, zip-lining, or the tarzan rope—all included.

By choosing this tour, you support local communities and sustainable ecotourism. A gastronomic stop at the Xbatún Mayan Village introduces you to typical dishes prepared with ancient Mayan techniques.

The final stop is the captivating Magic Town of Valladolid, founded in 1543, where you'll stroll the Calzada de los Frailes and visit the Convent of San Bernardino de Siena and the church of San Servasio.
