Historical Expedition To The Ruins of Ek Balam and Hubiku Cenote

About this activity

Explore Ek Balam and Swim in the Sacred Waters of Hubiku

We’ll meet at Valladolid’s main square before setting off to Ek Balam, one of Yucatán’s hidden archaeological gems.

Walk through this majestic Mayan city and climb the Acropolis, where the tomb of King Ukit Kan Le’k Tok’ was discovered—surrounded by over 7,000 ceremonial artifacts. Every step reveals a story of power, legacy, and ancient brilliance.

Next, we’ll visit the dreamlike Hubiku Cenote, a cave crowned by a skylight where sunlight dances across its 27-meter-deep crystal waters. Take a dip and feel the sacred energy once revered by the Maya.

After the swim, enjoy a delicious buffet lunch filled with local flavors—just what you need to recharge.

We’ll return to Valladolid after 6.5 unforgettable hours of culture, nature, and awe.
