You will be picked up early in the morning and head to visit the famous archaeological site, lost in the jungle - Ek Balam (translated from the Mayan language "black jaguar"). Here, you will see the mysterious "angels" sculptures who guard the entrance to the "kingdom of the dead" in the form of the mouth of a rattlesnake. From the Preclassic until the Postclassic period, it was the seat of a Mayan kingdom. The site is noted for the preservation of the plaster on the tomb of Ukit-Kan-Lek-Tok, a king buried in the side of the largest pyramid.
