Overview
This is a variation on the 'classic' tour from Cancun and the Riviera Maya, replacing a visit to a cenote with a visit to a second Mayan archaeological site, Ek Balam. Get to know Mexico's Modern Wonder of the World, Chichen Itza, learning about a wide range of Mayan architectural, scientific and astronomical achievements. After spending the time you want at Chichen Itza, continue to Ek Balam, a second Mayan archaeological site and experience Mayan buildings in a very different way. Climb a pyramid, enter Mayan rooms within a temple and the palace, and see a totally different style of sculpture (stucco rather than stone) and see examples of Mayan glyphs, the first written language of the Americas. Finally, visit Valladolid, once the region's capital, a Spanish colonial town with quaint streets, boutique shops and a cathedral on its charming main square. Choose the VW Beetle or a modern car, and the tour includes all photos by a former professional photographer at the end of the day.

Spending as much time as you want at Chichen Itza, you will visit both the post-classic (987-1200AD) buildings and the classic era (650-900AD) buildings in what was the most important Mayan city for each period before its abandonment in 1200AD. Drive from Cancun / Riviera Maya approx 2hr30mins

Ek BalamVisit a second Mayan archaeological site, Ek Balam, and enjoy a totally different more interactive experience, very complementary to your visit to Chichen Itza.

Drive from Chichen Itza approx. 1hour

ValladolidVisit one of Mexico's "magic towns", a small town with a lot of Spanish colonial architecture. Wander its quaint streets, pop into boutique clothing or craft shops, stroll around the town square, perhaps enjoying a drink in front of the cathedral.
