Valladolid & Ek’Balam

Be charmed by the colonial city of Valladolid, where many women still wear the traditional huipil (white cotton dresses with bright floral embroidery). Here, ornate architecture, vibrant markets and Franciscan convents all await your exploration. Around 30km north of Valladolid is the major Mayan archaeological site of Ek’ Balam, meaning ‘black jaguar’. Enter through a magnificent arch and let the mysticism and energy of this ancient city captivate you while discovering ceremonial buildings. Prepare to be immersed in the breathtaking beauty from the top after climbing the main temple of this enchanted place.
