Ek Balam
Ek Balam
Perhaps one of the less commercialized mayan ruins of the area (so the best if you are not a fan of big crowds). At Ek Balam you will find one of the most beautiful ancient buildings around Yucatan peninsula. For the ones that like ancient art this would be definitely the place to visit during your vacations. The sculptures you discover at the top of the temple are not only amazingly beautiful but it seems that they were made yesterday, but yet found in one of the oldest mayan city states! The mayan villages you can discover by the road are sure an experience you don’t want to miss. Wonderful local dishes you can try after a long day walking around the jungle.
