They canceled.

They cancelled the night before, and it was too late to make other arrangements. I was really really disappointed. The only positive was that they refunded the cost quickly.

Want to climb a pyramid?

Being able to climb the steps of Ek Balam was wonderful. Not many options elsewhere to do this. The Cenote was beautiful. John and Omar were great guides, friendly and professional. A bit of humour mixed along with the history lessons.
