Description

This narrated, self-guided tour of Ek Balam takes you through one of the most important ancient Mayan archaeological sites in existence. Dig into their ancient culture, science, religion, and more.

Ekʼ Balam Ruins:
Ancient tombs, Jaguar warriors, and a long-dead civilization… no, it’s not a Hollywood film, it’s real! Even better, you can see it for yourself!

Dig into the fascinating story of Ek Balam, where the Mayans preserved the tombs of their kings. Don’t worry, you won’t find any spring-loaded traps here! What you will find are remnants of an ancient civilization still shrouded in mystery. Explore the magnificent Ek Balam pyramid, the wall carvings which have weathered the ravages of time, and the tombs of once-mighty rulers, all while learning about the history and culture of Maya.

We’ll also dive deep into the arrival of the Spanish, their struggles with the Mayans, and the eventual downfall of Maya. There’s so much ancient history crammed into this place, we guarantee you’ll be captivated from the moment you set foot on these hallowed grounds.
