• Ek Balam - Experience a guided tour of Ek Balam, a Mayan archaeological site that flourished during the classic period (600-900 AD). Unlike a visit to the nearby Chichen Itza, Ek Balam offers the opportunity to climb a pyramid, explore rooms within a temple, and admire unique artwork and sculptures. This site provides a more personal encounter with Mayan architecture, with fewer visitors despite its smaller size.

Drive to arrive approximately 2:15 (depending on pick-up location).

• Rio Lagartos - Embark on a private boat tour with a local captain and wildlife guide. Over approximately 2.5 hours, discover wildlife such as flamingos, roseate spoonbills, crocodiles, pelicans, ospreys, and other bird species. The tour includes a chance to apply local mud, known for its beneficial effects on skin complexion, and concludes with a visit to a local cenote for a refreshing dip in the cool, clean waters.

Drive from Ek Balam approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes.

• Las Coloradas - Explore the vibrant pink waters of Las Coloradas (the intensity of the colors varies with the weather and time of year). With a local guide accredited by the operating salt mine, visit the shores of the pink water—entry or contact with the water has been prohibited since 2021. Learn about the salt production process and possibly observe some wildlife behaviors.

Drive from Rio Lagartos approximately 25 minutes.

Drive back to Cancun/Playa del Carmen approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes.

Explore Ek Balam, the sole Mayan archaeological site near Cancun and the Riviera Maya, where visitors can still ascend a pyramid and enjoy a breathtaking view of the jungle. Afterward, travel to the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula for a guided wildlife boat tour, and be amazed by the stunning pink waters of Las Coloradas before returning to the hotel. At Ek Balam, guests can enter ancient Mayan rooms, climb the pyramid, and admire the intricate details of 8th-century stucco sculptures. Choose between a classic VW Beetle or a modern vehicle for the day’s adventure. The guide, a former professional photographer, will capture moments throughout the day and provide these photos at no extra charge, along with a 90-second summary video delivered the next day.
