What To Visit In Chichén Itzá ?
One of the most enjoyable experience is to swim in our special ecological pool which features a splendid natural reef bottom including holes and tunnels created by mother nature millions of years ago and filled with sparkling water of therapeutic properties.
When possible, start your program with the Sound & Light show at Chichén Itzá . It will give you the opportunity to see the beautiful clear sky full of stars along with the Mayan pyramids lighted. This show will serve you as an introduction for the daytime visit the next morning.
The Chichén Itzá ruins are amazing , they are one of the biggest in Mexico, this means you need at least a day to see everything, specially if you like to avoid crowds at noon time. Beware of tours where you would be taken to visit the ruins in the hottest time of the day, we strongly recommend you to stay overnight so you can see the ruins early in the morning and late in the evening.
The BALANKANCHE caves have nice natural formations along with Mayan sanctuaries where they performed ceremonies, there is an underground river at the end, famous for the blind fishes in its water.
EK BALAM is located in northeastern Yucatán about 70 kilometers by road from Chichen Itza. In ancient times, it was a large city, controlling a populous and prosperous countryside. Its impressive architecture dates, for the most part, to the Late Classic.
There are several Cenotes in which you can swim like the one in Ik Kil right across the hotel (Discount tickets available at the front desk) or DZITNUP with wonderful formations only 30 Km away.
