This full day excursion gives you the opportunity to visit one of the most fascinating ancient ceremonial sites on the planet - Chichen Itza. Add a visit to the colonial city of Valladolid and a swim in an amazing underground cave or cenote and you have a day full of marvels. While this tour may be a long day, what you’ll get back in culture, adventure and fun will be well worth your time investment.
Ek Balam and Valladolid is one of our private tours that ensures a special and memorial visit to the Yucatan. Ek Balam was constructed using a very different building method to that of other Surrounding Mayan cities. The architectural details is what we love about Ek Balam and want to share this experience with more intimate groups.
If you want to deepen your understanding and knowledge of Mayan architecture, this is the tour for you. If you time is short in the Riviera Maya and want to see as much as you can, this is also the tour for you. We created this private Yucatreks tour for enthusiasts, like us, who love to compare and contrast different historical sites. Chichen Itza and Ek Balam are on opposite architectural scales so it was a natural choice to include both of these ruins inbetween a walk through the city of Valladolid and lunch at a historic Hacienda. Ek Balam is a personal favorite ruin, so in the spirit of Yucatreks, where we treat all of our guests like personal friends, this new private tour is a great addition to our line-up.
