Description

Now it’s time to move forward to Ek Balam, the classic pyramids from 700-1000 d.c. that means ” Bright Star Jaguar” . This pyramids are well known for its well-preserved stucco sculptures, large Acropolis with vaulted rooms, twin pyramids, and majestic Mayan arch, serving as the capital of ancient kingdom of Talol before its eventual decline and rediscovery, offering a unique glimpse into Mayan history with extensive defensive walls and rich iconography.
To close the day we will refresh ourselves in a nice cenote, fresh water from the underground rivers, have a nice typical regional buffet lunch and go back to the hotels.
