A very good excursion with Ekinox, we took it several times. - A very good excursion with our guide Jesus. He knew how to explain to us on the El Balam website and we discovered the Mayan traditions. I recommend.

Day in the Yucatan - Very nice day with our guide Freddy: friendly, interesting and available! Guided tour of Ek Balam on top with good explanations. 2h break for lunch and swimming in the cenote: nice place to rest and enjoy the infrastructures. Stop in Uayma for the famous church. Time is not running out and it is very pleasant. I recommend EKINOX:)

Very different - Ek Balam was not a Mayan temple but a Mayan university where the young elite of the nobility was educated. Therefore, there is no pyramid but a large amount of large buildings that served as school rooms. Great and you can climb many. The cenote is wonderfully deep and impressive

Interesting and beautiful - Me and my friend did this tour and we loved it. Jesús Cuevas and Ricardo showed us the advanced knowledge the mayas have and gave us insights into various aspects including archeological facts. They where the best team when compared to other tour guides we had in various Mexico locations. It's 100% worth your time. In addition to that, this team knows how to put everyone at ease. They really give more information than you'd expect! After this tour I was really interested in learning more about Mayas.
