Itinéraire
Vous serez pris en charge tôt le matin et vous vous dirigerez vers le célèbre site archéologique, perdu dans la jungle - Ek Balam (traduit de la langue maya "jaguar noir"). Ici, vous verrez les mystérieuses sculptures «anges» qui gardent l'entrée du «royaume des morts» sous la forme de la gueule d'un serpent à sonnette. Du préclassique à la période postclassique, c'était le siège d'un royaume maya. Le site est connu pour la préservation du plâtre sur la tombe d'Ukit-Kan-Lek-Tok, un roi enterré dans le flanc de la plus grande pyramide.
Ensuite, vous visiterez la côte du Golfe pour monter en petit bateau dans l'une des plus belles réserves naturelles de la péninsule du Yucatan. En naviguant dans les mangroves, vous observerez une réserve d'oiseaux dans leur habitat naturel. Vous verrez les crocodiles des Caïmans et vous observerez des troupeaux de flamants roses dans leur sanctuaire. Après une promenade dans le parc, un spa naturel vous attend.
Le point culminant de la visite sera la visite de l'usine de tequila où vous pourrez voir le processus de production de la tequila et déguster cette merveilleuse boisson. À la fin de la visite, vous serez transféré à votre hôtel.

A varied tour with an excellent guide. Boat excursion was fantastic - managed to see crocodiles and flamingos
What a disappointment. This tour started off bad and only because worse. Our guide informed us upon leaving the hotel that the van had been sterilizd and there was no reason to wear a mask. I asked if he has been vaccinated against covid-19. He laughed, "No". I informed him that he was to wear the mask as my wife had not been vaccinated as yet. Ek Balan was ok. It does not compare to the less expensive tour of Chicken it's, however. As a photographer, I was most excited to visit the bird sanctuary billed as a Pink Flamingo Bird Sanctuary. Well, zero birds. The bird sanctuary is at a commercial salt mine. The only thing that was pink was water. We abandoned the tour at this point. My wife and I opted to have drinks at the hotel in Cancun rather than have anymore disappointment.
Dear guest, we are very sorry that you decided to end the tour in the middle and you didn’t take the boat trip to see the wonderful flamingos. The itinerary of this tour is as follows : First activity: visit to the archaeological site Ek Balam Second activity: visit to las Coloradas ( Pink Lake ) Third activity: boat trip tour to see flamingos and lagoon Fourth activity: tequila tasting in Mayapan Our guide informed us that when you arrived at Las Coloradas ( Pink lake), you complained because there was a lot of noise and there were no flamingos that you expected to see. The noise that was there is completely normal because of the salt machines mines in the area, and this is because they are working in the process of making salt. In Las Coloradas you can’t see flamingos. This is only possible taking the boat trip and going to the area of their habitat. There are a huge number of flamingos now. At all times our guide explained to you about that and suggested you not to abandon the tour and take the boat trip to see the flamingos. But for some reason you decided to end it and return to the hotel.
<p>We read other reviews and requested Raul for our tour and we are glad we did. He gave us flavor and history all in a believable down to earth way. He was truly a joy to talk with. Our tour was perfect and the added visit to the salt flats was interesting. The visit to Ek Balam was interesting and a nice addition to the other tours we've taken of the Mayan ruins around the Yucatan. One motivator for us taking this trip was the Pink Flamingos sanctuary. The driver on our boat whipped it around right away to get us close to an alligator wading around and went to extremes to try to get us close to the flamingos. It's never a sure bet if you will see them or get close enough so take a longer lens if you hope to capture them in photos. He took us close to shore to capture more wildlife and grabbed an interesting looking prehistoric creature from the water to show us. Lunch at a local restaurant was a nice addition. The side trip to the Tequila factory wasn't really the factory but stood in for it long ago but still fun to see. Be sure you take money to tip your tour driver, boat driver, guide and waiter at lunch.</p>
<p>This was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Raul, Trip to Mexico was so knowledgeable and so much fun. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with him. We not only learned so much about the experiences that were part of the tour but also about the Mexican culture and way of life. I strongly recommend this tour and ask for Raul, he was wonderful!</p>
