Dit kun je verwachten

Op deze excursie duik je in het verleden bij de oude Maya ruïnes van Ek' Balam. En er staat je ook een avontuur vol adrenaline te wachten. Je gaat terug in de tijd bij deze archeologische site, gevolgd door een spannende zipline en een duik in een cenote bij Hacienda Chukum. Verder smul je van een lunchbuffet met regionale klassiekers en bezoek je Valladolid. Maria, een van onze lokale gidsen, zegt: "Ek Balam staat ook bekend als de 'Zwarte Jaguar' of de 'Ster Jaguar'. En het gebeurt vast niet elke dag dat je zulke massieve structuren te zien krijgt. Wat deze plek echt uniek maakt, zijn de dubbele muren die het centrale gebied omringen".

In Ek' Balam dompel je je onder in de Mayageschiedenis. Er zijn meer dan 40 bouwwerken en je hebt de mogelijkheid om verschillende monumenten te beklimmen. Denk aan piramides en de torenhoge acropolis, met een episch uitzicht op de site en de omringende jungle. De volgende stop is Hacienda Chukum. Midden in de jungle vind je een cenote waar je de kans hebt om te zwemmen en te ziplinen door de grot. Je gids geeft je bovendien snorkeltips en vertelt je meer over de lokale flora en fauna.

Na al die actie is het tijd om bij te tanken met een heerlijk buffet van regionale specialiteiten in een openluchtrestaurant. Je smult van gerechten als pulled pork, hartige vis en tortilla's. Plus wat zoete toetjes om het af te maken. En je sluit de dag af in Valladolid, een stad die barst van de Instagram-waardige Spaanse sferen, kleurrijke herenhuizen en schilderachtige geplaveide straten. Je hebt wat vrije tijd om de stad te verkennen. Neem foto's bij het stadspaleis en snuif de relaxte sfeer op het centrale plein op voordat je teruggaat.

Guided Tour of Ek' Balam and Valladolid with Cenote and Lunch

Get a close-up look at Maya history and traditions on this off-the-beaten-track tour. You'll visit the ancient Maya city of Ek' Balam – the most recent to be opened to the public – as well as Yalcoba to swim in the cenote and a stop in Valladolid. Francesca, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Archaeologists only began uncovering Ek' Balam in 1985, and they're still digging away today. It's a more complete site than many others, and you can still imagine daily life in the Maya town going on around you as you explore. But the main reason I enjoy Ek' Balam is that there are so few visitors.'We'll start the adventure with a guided visit of Ek' Balam, which translates as ‘Black Jaguar.' The site has more than 40 structures and its walls formed a maze, while the main pyramid, known as the Acropolis, has a well-preserved entrance surrounded by the open jaws and fangs of a jaguar. It's bigger than even El Castillo at Chichen Itzá. Best of all, you can climb to the top – which few Maya sites allow.Afterwards, we'll head to Yalcoba where you can try your hand at chocolate-making and learn how to craft obsidian at a workshop. After a tequila and mezcal tasting you'll have time to enjoy the crystalline cenote, then tuck into a tasty buffet lunch of typical regional dishes. Lastly, we'll have a quick stop in central Valladolid, a city known for its art and architecture and a picture-perfect medley of colourful colonial buildings and historic churches.

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.
