5.00Our amazing guide, Carmen, provided incredible insights into Mayan culture and answered even the most complex questions with the greatest of depth and a smile. She was relentless in getting our group to fully appreciate the wonders of that era. While Chichen Itza is where everyone goes, Ek Balam is its own world wonder, a well-kept secret from the world. That smaller site is a worthy add on to your journey and the whole tour is a can't miss if you're in Yucatan peninsula.
