One of the great traditional communities of the Yucatan has opened its doors for visitors from near and far with a chance to really experience Maya life, the farm, the fields, and the friendship.

Historical Community Tour of Ek Balam

Unajil Ek Balam is one of the original eco-centers and rustic lodging experiences just outside of Ek Balam in Yucatan. This tour offers an authentic, intercultural encounter with members of the community living in the area of the Ek Balam archaeological site. You get the opportunity to explore the historical site and to delve into the natural and cultural wealth alive in the area.

The tour includes the farm fields, where participants learn directly from the farmers about the ancestral techniques passed down over many generations. You can also participate in community workshops to learn hammock weaving, embroidery, and how to make handmade tortillas. Everything is shared in an atmosphere of mutual respect and collective learning. Tour leaders will also give you a complete history of the community from ancient times through to today. 

Want to stay a while? Accommodation is available in comfortable traditional cabins and camping out is encouraged on the communal reserve. All of it together makes Unajil Ek Balam into an experience of culture, history, and everyday life mixed into one unforgettable experience.
