What's included in the package

Itinerary

Parque Natural Ria Lagartos

Guided boattour for about 2 hours in this Unesco natural park. Boatrental, entrance to the park and English/Spanish speaking guide are included. You´ll see birds, different types of mangroves, most probably crocodiles. As for the Flamingos: this park is where their nesting aerea is (we´re not allowed to go to the nests), so you´ll definitely see them the whole year round. How many? There are days we see only ten or a hundred, but you´ll never see a thousand ;-).

Admission Ticket Included

Ek Balam

English/Spanish guided tour in this must see site. Only about 20 years ago archaeologists discovered here the facade of a Maya mausoleum that is 85% intact like it was in the year 800 AD. If you´re not interested in Ek Balam you can visit the local cenote Xcanche (entrances not included: Ek Balam 494 mxn pp foreigners, Xcanché cenote 170 mxn pp).

This was an amazing day trip with our excellent guide Gilberto. The boat trip at Rio Lagartes was excellent - I can't believe how close we got to the crocodiles and I loved seeing the flamingos (and so many other birds that Gilberto was able to identify for us). Ek Balam was incredibly impressiv...

Great tour! José our guide was a wealth of knowledge. Not only was he our driver but also our guide at Río Lagartos and at Ek’Balam. He shares a lot of information about the Ek’Balam Kingdom and provides many visuals to show how the kingdom might have looked in the past. I appreciated that the f...
