Ek' Balam is a Maya archaeological site distinguished by being one of the few sites where visitors can still climb the pyramids. The main pyramid 'Acropolis' rises 32 meters and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding jungle. The site features wonderfully preserved stucco reliefs depicting Maya kings and gods. The name means 'Black Jaguar' in Maya. Visiting offers a unique experience away from the large tourist crowds at Chichén Itzá.
