What you can expect

  • Discover one of the most captivating archaeological sites in Yucatán and enjoy an authentic experience in close contact with Mayan culture.

    You will visit the archaeological zone of Ek Balam, one of the few sites where visitors are still allowed to climb some of the structures, including the majestic Acropolis. The name Ek Balam means “black jaguar” in the Mayan language, and during your visit, you will be accompanied by an Italian-speaking guide who will share the history and secrets of this extraordinary place with you.

    You will then continue with a visit to the Mayan community of Hubiku, where you will enter a typical local house and learn about the meaning of Mayan numbers and the traditions that are still alive today.

    During the experience, you will watch handmade tortillas being prepared and will have the opportunity to taste the famous cochinita pibil, one of the most iconic dishes of Yucatecan cuisine. Tastings of local honey and tequila are also included.

    The experience continues with a visit to an underground cave, an evocative setting reminiscent of the ancient Mayan underworld. Inside, there is a cenote where you can take a dip in its fresh, crystal-clear water.

    Lunch will be a buffet at a restaurant serving regional Yucatecan cuisine.

    A comprehensive tour that combines history, nature and traditions, perfect for those looking to discover the real Mexico.
