Flamingo flocks and pink lakes on Rio Lagartos, mysteries of the ancient Mayans at one of the most incredible Mayan cities - Ek Balam, real Mexican flavor in a tequila factory. This private unique tour has it all, and if it is was not enough - lunch is also included!This tour combines a visit to archaeological complex and a close acquaintance with Yucatan's nature. Ek Balam named after its last governor, Black Jaguar, is one of the last discovered Mayan cities and opened to the public only recently. You will see the places where sacrifices were performed, climb the Acropolis - the governor’s palace, considered the biggest Mayan monument so far, and try to resolve the altar’s mystery, which guards the entrance to the kingdom of dead.

Then, you will visit a tequila factory to learn about the process of making and types of this famous beverage and, of course, to taste it. After that your next stop is Rio Lagartos Lagoon, where you will navigate on little boats and watch flamingos and crocodiles as you head directly to the pink salt lakes.

Due to the high content of minerals and salts, the water gains a special pink color and its consistency is like one of the Dead Sea. There, if you want, you will be able to take a natural white clay bath and then wash it away in the Gulf of Mexico.
