Acerca de Ek Balam

Ek Balam is one of the little-known archaeological zones in Yucatan but with great historical importance. Its meaning is in Maya and means Star Jaguar. The name of the site comes from a great man named Ek Balam or Coch Cal Balam, who was its founder and governor for 40 years. This place is located very close to Tizimin, an hour and a half from Playa del Carmen and 2 hours from Mérida.

Its relevance was to promote technical and cultural advances, as well as architectural and decorative wealth, the best example of which is Structure 35 Sub. The archaeological zone that is open is not very large and the tour without a guide is approximately 1 hour. The hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and they are not open on Mondays.

We love taking the kids as they can explore most of the sites. There are some temples where you can enter and there are bats that are harmless. There is plenty of free space for them to take a break and the children to play, as long as the rules are respected.

If you want to know the history of this place you can hire a guide for an approximate cost of $300 to $600 pesos. The cost to enter Ek Balam is $90 pesos, children, seniors and teachers do not pay. If you go on a Sunday, admission is free for all nationals. At the entrance there is a shop where they sell souvenirs, drinks and some delicious palettes of natural fruit. There are also restrooms and parking. Around the area there are restaurants in case you are hungry.

Don’t forget to bring sunscreen and water for the little ones. If you have already been to Ek Balam and want to know more archaeological sites in Yucatan, enter our Parks in Mérida section. We remind you that at KIDSin we highly value your recommendations and opinions, so we ask you to leave them below.
