First stop was the Hubiku cenote, Life jackets were to be provided with our excursion, but on the site, had to pay 40 pesos! The stay at ek balam, which is to be the main attraction, only lasted an hour or so, and only anecdotes were provided by the guide. Better explanations were provided by another group guide that I follower for a while. Finally, went to a second cenote, Suytún, where buffet lunch was served - a two-hour stop definitely too long. The Valladolid stop was 30 minutes, only to bring us to a tourist souvenir shop for a tequila tasting. Did not visit the city at all, thank God the tequila tasting was next to the main Church and park, which is lovely, but little time to go inside. Overall, my experience was deceiving, the tour should be concentrated to Ek Balam, with a more knowledgeable guide of the site instead of going to 2 cenotes. But our tour guide was very nice, I have nothing against him, but wish we had a better certified guide.
