5 Days of Pink Green and Blue Yucatecas

5 Days of Pink Green and Blue Yucatecas

Ek Balam, is a spectacular archaeological zone in the heart of Yucatan. It is not very famous as Chichén Itzá, therefore you can enter without making big lines, take pictures without crowds and walk calmly without bothering vendors. But the best part is that you can climb to the top of the pyramids and contemplate the spectacular jungle that surrounds it.

Despite globalization and everything that involves it (technology, customs, etc.) the beauty of San Felipe is intact.

The design of their homes are still picturesque and simply unique, you can go walking through the streets and have the feeling that you are visiting a rainbow. It is something that attracts the attention of own and strangers.
