Chichén Itzá & Ek Balam Day Trip

After picking you up from your hotel at the designated time, we'll embark on an approximately two-hour journey into the Yucatán Peninsula to visit one of Mexico's most famous archaeological sites: Chichén Itzá.

Upon arrival, we'll begin exploring the most important and renowned vestige of the Mayan civilization. Did you know that it was declared a World Heritage Site in 1988? It's also one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.

There, we'll see the mythical Pyramid of Kukulcán and the Temple of the Warriors, the Temple of Venus, the Ball Court... You'll love it! After the visit, you'll have free time to explore the area at your own pace.

After this first visit, we'll set off for the Hubiku Cenote. When we arrive, we'll take a dip in this 200-foot (60-metre) deep well of crystal clear water. The Maya once believed that this place was a passage to the underworld... While we're in this idyllic setting, we'll have a delicious Yucatecan lunch. Bon appétit! After lunch, you can visit the tequila museum that's also located here.

Our next stop will be the Mayan city of Ek Balam, which dates back to 300 BC. We'll explore each nook and cranny and see its Entrance Arch, the ceremonial centre, the Oval Palace, and the Ballcourt. These structures remain in perfect condition today.

Next, we'll pause in front of the tomb of Ukit Kan Le'k Tok' to admire the frieze on its façade and the amount of detail displayed. We'll also learn all about the history behind its two pyramids.

Following 12 hours of culture and history, we'll return to the starting point and say our goodbyes.

Hotel Pickup

This tour includes hotel pickup and drop–off. Please note that the schedule shown in the booking calendar is an estimate. After making your reservation, we'll get in touch with you to confirm the exact pickup time, which will depend on the location of your hotel.
