Belle expérience grâce à notre guide Paulino! Beau partage de la culture et de l’histoire Maya. 15 minutes supplémentaires sur chaque site seraient utiles pour prendre le temps d’apprécier le moment présent. Paulino a été très rassurant pour la descente en rappel dans la cenote. ????

This is the third tour I’ve done with this company - the first in 2009! They’ve been doing it right for years. I had zero intentions of doing anything but laying in the sun- but when it was suppose to rain and I caught a glimpse of the Alltournative brochure on the excursion desk I caved. Ek’ Balam is the last ruin in the area that allows you to climb the ruin. We had visited Coba with them in 2009 and again in 2015- but the pyramid is now closed. It is an amazing feeling to stand at the top and look out over the land and imagine what life would have been like at the height of the Mayan Civilization.
Highly recommend going- being part of that history is an amazing feeling! Our guide, Jens - shared with us he is still going through training to get certified to guide at the archeological sites, but he shared a wealth of knowledge in English and German - and helped me work on my Spanish! I love history and so when the guide at Ek’ Balam finished the official tour - Jens entertained my questions further- He will be a great guide when he is certified and can lead the tours completely on his own. Great personal energy and caring- we had some guests with special needs and he was always trying to anticipate their needs, and only joking chided me for wearing flip flops to climb a pyramid!
Like I said- I wasn’t planning to do anything but lay in the sun!
The Maya Cenote Park - was wear we visited Gran Cenote. We started with a Mayan Blessing with a Mayan Shaman. It was a beautiful cavern, where we could rappel down into the water and then “play.” Being from MN, I could have spent hours in there- yes it’s a little chilly- make sure you shower off well- 1) for respect of the scared area and 2) to prep yourself for the colder temp. The Zipline was short but fun-hang on tight! There are a couple of platforms to jump from.
Lunch was delicious- the fried corn sopes were my favorite!! The photos the offered were great- good quality and lots of them- you don’t have to worry about anything. You may only have GoPros if they are strapped to-your head or chest with the rappelling. No exceptions- please remember - these areas are sacred they don’t want things dropped- be respectful
