Customer Reviews
Nice for a day trip. Not as grand as chitchen itza, but it was cool to actually be able to climb the different structures. Lots of informative signs. Wish it had more of the overgrown, tomb raider feeling, but that’s just a personal preference.
Amazing! Off the beaten path, but we'll worth the trip. Not too many vendors trying to sell you goods and none of them were overly pushy. We opted for a self guided tour and if it weren't for the kids, I feel like it would have been worth it. The drive from the coast is boring with very few options for gas, food, restrooms. Beautiful archeological site with not too many visitors. Worth the price of admission. I loved that the have ramps in many spots for accessibility. Lots of shade available throughout the site.
If staying in Valladolid, don’t miss out on Ek Balam. Go EARLY if climbing to the top - that midday sun is no joke! Having sunscreen/long sleeve sun-shirt, umbrella, and plenty of water are strongly advised. Saw many large iguanas and the view is fabulous. Not as crowded/chaotic as Chichen Itza and easy to hit the nearby cenote which is stunning.
