Tour the recently uncovered Mayan ruins of Ek Balam, and enjoy a variety of activities while cooling off at beautiful Cenote Maya, a brand-new off-the-beaten track adventure combo from Playa del Carmen Tours!

THIS TOUR IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE
SEE OUR MAYAN RUINS TOURS

We will start off with a guided tour of Ek Balam, an ancient Mayan city that thrived about 1500 years ago.  It is amazing how well preserved these ruins are.  Unlike popular ruins sites like Chichen Itza and Tulum, you can still climb the great Acropolis pyramid at Ek Balam, for dramatic views of the Riviera Maya.  Ek Balam is much less visited than its fellow ruins sites and the less crowded environment is a perfect introduction to the legends and history of the Mayan empire.  After the guided tour, you'll have time to explore on your own and take photographs.

The next stop is nearby Cenote Maya, where you'll descend under the ground to a hidden freshwater pool.  Here you can rappel into the cenote (there are stairs for the less adventurous) and zip line or swing on Tarzan's vine into the refreshing waters.  We'll enjoy real Mayan delicacies at the local restaurant, and you can also watch the local artesans create authentic Mayan handicrafts, explore the gardens or relax in hammocks.

When:  Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM.  Exact pick-up time depends on the location of your hotel, but will be shown on your confirmation.

Where: Complimentary pickup at your Playa del Carmen or Riviera Maya hotel, or meet at Plaza Playacar in Playa del Carmen, one block from the Cozumel ferry terminal.
