Not seeing something you are looking for?

Travel inland from the coastal city of Cancun to the jungle-shrouded ruins of Ek Balam, a former Mayan city that somehow still feels like a secret. These full-day outings focus on the massive Acropolis pyramid—one of the last you can still climb—where the remarkably preserved stucco carvings of winged warriors are a photographer’s dream. Once you’ve taken in the jungle views from the summit, you can cool off with a swim in a nearby cenote or visit a local community for a traditional meal. Thanks to fully coordinated transport and park entry, you can instead focus on the 1,500-year-old architecture instead of the highway signs.
