About this experience
Discover three unforgettable destinations in one day! Begin your adventure at Ek Balam, an impressive archaeological site hidden among the trees and considered one of the largest and most fascinating in the Yucatán Peninsula. Climb to the top of the Acropolis for breathtaking views and learn about the rich history and culture of the ancient Maya with a certified guide.
After exploring Ek Balam, cool off in the crystal-clear waters of Cenote Hubiku, a natural wonder formed over thousands of years. Swim in this semi-open cenote surrounded by lush jungle, and experience the tranquility of this sacred Mayan site. While in the Hubiku area, visit a small Mayan village.
Finally, explore the charming colonial town of Valladolid, officially recognized as a "Pueblo Mágico." Stroll through its colorful streets, admire the historic San Servacio Church. This full-day experience offers the perfect mix of culture, history, nature, and local flavor.
