Retken kuvaus

Sukella seikkailuun Ek' Balamissa, muinaisten maya-raunioiden keskellä. Astut ajassa taaksepäin tässä arkeologisessa kohteessa, koet vaijeriliu'un ja cenote-uinnin Hacienda Chukumissa, nautit alueellisista klassikoista koostuvan buffetlounaan ja vierailet Valladolidissa. Maria, yksi paikallisoppaistamme, kertoo: ”Mustana Jaguaarina tai Tähtijaguaarina tunnettu Ek Balam on ainutlaatuinen paikka – ei joka päivä näe näin massiivisia rakennuksia. Sen erikoisuus ovat kaksoismuurit, jotka ympäröivät keskialuetta.”

Ek' Balamissa tutustut mayojen historiaan ja näet yli 40 rakennelmaa, joista joihinkin voit jopa kiivetä. Ihaile pyramideja ja korkealle kohoavaa akropolista, josta avautuvat upeat näkymät ympäröivään vehreään viidakkoon. Raunioiden jälkeen suunnataan kohti Hacienda Chukumia – ja nyt vauhtia riittää! Tämä ei ole mikään tavallinen pysähdyspaikka, vaan viidakkoseikkailu, jossa pääset uimaan cenotessa tai liukumaan vaijeriliu'ulla luolan yli. Opas jakaa vinkkejä snorklaukseen ja kertoo kiehtovia juttuja alueen kasvistosta ja eläimistä.

Kaiken tämän toiminnan jälkeen on aika tankata – tarjolla on herkullinen buffet täynnä paikallisia makuja. Maista esimerkiksi nyhtöpossua, mausteista kalaa ja tuoreita tortilloja. Jälkiruoaksi toki vielä jotain makeaa. Päivän kruunaa vierailu Valladolidissa, joka huokuu espanjalaista tunnelmaa. Ihaile värikkäitä kartanoita ja viehättäviä mukulakivikatuja. Nauti vapaa-ajasta, ota valokuvia kunnallispalatsissa ja nauti pääaukion rennosta tunnelmasta ennen paluumatkaa.
