Reisroute
Je wordt vroeg in de ochtend opgehaald en gaat naar de beroemde archeologische vindplaats, verdwaald in de jungle - Ek Balam (vertaald uit de Maya-taal "zwarte jaguar"). Hier ziet u de mysterieuze "engelen" -sculpturen die de ingang van het "koninkrijk van de doden" bewaken in de vorm van de mond van een ratelslang. Van de Preclassic tot de Postclassic-periode was het de zetel van een Maya-koninkrijk. De site staat bekend om het behoud van het gips op het graf van Ukit-Kan-Lek-Tok, een koning begraven in de zijkant van de grootste piramide.
Daarna bezoekt u de Gulf Coast om in een kleine boot te varen in een van de mooiste natuurreservaten van het schiereiland Yucatan. Varende mangroven, je zult een reservaat vogels in hun natuurlijke habitat zien. Je zult de Kaaimankrokodillen zien en je zult zwermen roze flamingo's in hun heiligdom zien. Na een wandeling door het park wacht een natuurlijke spa op je.
Het hoogtepunt van de tour is een bezoek aan de tequilafabriek, waar je het productieproces van tequila kunt zien en dit heerlijke drankje kunt proeven. Aan het einde van de tour wordt u teruggebracht naar uw hotel.

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>
