Description
Private Excursions to Chichen Itza and Ek Balam:
Mayan Ruins Chichen Itza – Mayan Ruins Ek Balam - Swim in a Cenote – Lunch
This Chichen Itza Tour and Ek Balam is one of the best Excursions in Mexico, combining the "must-sees" of Yucatan. It is a private experience that allows you to create or adjust for your own, perfect adventure.
Let us make your Private Chichen Itza and Ek Balam Excursion the highlight of your vacation. From our meeting point we take you straight to the archeological site Chichen Itza. It takes about two hours from Playa del Carmen to get there.
Private Excursion to Chichen Itza: Archeological site Chichen Itza
Experience Chichen Itza before the big tour busses arrive. At this time, it is less crowded and the temperature is still convenient for a visit of the Mayan ruins. Once in Chichen Itza, we take you on a journey to the ancient Maya. You will learn about the architecture of the temples, the knowledge and religion of the Maya, their social structures and astronomy.
The famous pyramid of the important Mayan god Kukulkan rises majestically from the earth. It attracts over 6 million visitors annually. Full of symbols from mathematics, religion and the Mayan calendar, it is perfectly aligned with the sun.
We take our time to visit the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza and discover, among other things, the largest ball court in Mesoamerica, the Temple of the Jaguar, the sacred cenote and the observatory. One can easily guess the original size of Chichen Itza, which extends over several square miles.
Private Excursion to Chichen Itza and Ek Balam: The Mayan Ruins Ek Balam
After a detailed tour in Chichen Itza, we head to the Mayan site Ek Balam. It takes about an hour to get there. The Acropolis rises majestically above the others, very well-preserved structures. Here we enjoy an indescribable view from above of the archeological site and the surrounding jungle. The platforms on the way up have various surprises. For example, the snake gate is perfectly preserved and a wonderful photo opportunity.
Private Excursion to Chichen Itza and Ek Balam: Cenote
Our next stop is a cenote with amazing lime stone formations. Crystal-clear water in a huge cave invites for a swim. The water is refreshing and we can explore the fantastic stalagtites.
After a long stay in the water, we have a typical Mexican lunch included (drinks are extra).
