Itinerary
1
Ek-Balam
A guided visit to Ek Balam, a Mayan archaelogical site in its prime in the classic period (600-900AD). A visit to Ek Balam is quite different from a visit to nearby Chichen Itza. You can climb a pyramid, enter rooms within a temple, marvel at artwork and sculptures the style and techniques for which are unique to this site. It is a more intimate experience of Mayan buildings, and with fewer visitors around, despite being a smaller site.
Drive to arrive approx. 2:15 (depending on pick-up location)
1 hour and 15 minutes
2
Rio Lagartos
Board a private boat with a local captain and wildlife guide, who, during approximately 2.5 hours, will show you wildlife such as flamingoes, roseate spoonbills, crocodiles, pelicans, osprey and other birdlife. The boat tour includes an opportunity to cake yourself in the local mud, credited with properties which really help your skin complexion, and then to conclude visits a local cenote where you can refresh yourself in the cool clean waters.
Drive from Ek Balam approx. 1hr20mins.
3 hours
3
Las Coloradas
Visit the bright pink waters at Las Coloradas (the vibrancy of the colours depends on the weather on the day and to an extent the time of year). With a local guide accredited by the working salt mine that operates there, visit the shores of the pink water - it's no longer allowed to enter or even touch the water since 2021. You will hear an explanation of the salt production process and perhaps some description of behaviours of any wildlife we encounter.
Drive from Rio Lagartos approx 25 minutes.
Drive back to Cancun/Playa del Carmen approx 3hrs30mins
