Itinerary
Discover the Mayan sites of Chichen Itza and Ek Balam on this tour from Riviera Maya. Beat the crowds and explore these two impressive locations, taking a refreshing cenote swim in between. Set off early and arrive at the ruin of Chichen Itza just as it opens and take a guided tour. Learn about the old Chichen Itza and the different buildings there and see 1 of the cenotes inside the ruins. Following the guided tour you will have some free time to explore on your own. Take some amazing pictures of the Kukukkan Castle as you explore and see the 1000 Columnas Temple, Jaguar Temple, and the biggest ball game stadium in the Mayan culture, The Old Chichen Itza, The Observatory and many more
After visiting Chichen Itza ruins, discover the impressive Hubiku Cenote, one of the best in the Yucatan region, and take a swim under hundreds of stalactites. Then, enjoy a regional buffet lunch at a nearby restaurant.
Finally, visit Ek Balam, an off-the-beaten-track Yucatec-Mayan archaeological site hidden in the jungle. Admire incredible carvings at the site and climb to the top of the Acropolis Pyramid, the highest point of the ruins.

About Playa del Carmen
Playa del Carmen is a relaxed Riviera Maya beach town with a buzzing pedestrian avenue, white sand, and cenotes, reefs and ruins close by.
Quinta Avenida, the town's long pedestrian street, runs parallel to the beach and is lined with shops, cafés, restaurants and bars that stay busy late. The beaches are wide and white, with Punta Esmeralda a local favourite for its shallow lagoon, and the water is warm and clear for much of the year.
Top-ranked sights in Playa del Carmen: Rio Secreto Nature Reserve, Fifth Avenue (Quinta Avenida), Cirque du Soleil Joya.
