Ek Balam & Uayama Day Trip

  • 8 reviews | 128 travellers
    Very nice excursion. The sites visited are magnificent and our guide, Jorge, was great, funny and very knowledgeable. The only criticism is the quality of the transport (4 seats in the back too small for a journey of about an hour) between the hotel and the bus that takes us to the sites.

Description

Get ready for an incredible adventure starting right from your hotel in Cancun! Our journey begins with a scenic bus ride westward, venturing into the heart of the Yucatan Peninsula.

First, we'll visit the fascinating Ek Balam ruins, dating back to 300 B.C. We'll explore its ancient acropolis, witness the impressive ball court, and unravel the captivating history of its twin pyramids.

Next up, the Chichikan Maya cenote awaits us! Dive into the enchanting underground cavern with its crystal-clear waters, perfect for a refreshing swim while surrounded by natural beauty.

Immerse yourself in local culture as we meet a Maya tribe and partake in a mesmerizing demonstration of their traditions—a complete cultural immersion.

Before continuing our journey, we'll indulge in a scrumptious buffet lunch. Our exploration continues with a visit to the Santo Domingo temple, located in the quaint town of Uayma. Fun fact: it was built in the 17th century using stones from various Maya ruins.

After an action-packed 12-hour tour, we'll safely return you to your hotel in Cancun, leaving you with unforgettable memories and a deeper appreciation for the Yucatan's rich history and beauty.
