Lesser known of the Mayan cities in Mexico but equally outstanding is Mayan Ruins of Ek Balam on the Yucatan Pennisula. It’s a mesmerising site well worth a visit for an off the beaten track experience.
We’re so glad to discover Ek Balam.
Dug out of a mound in the Yucatan in 90’s, Ek Balam is a fresh site and offers a peaceful encounter with the Mayan culture, free of crowds.
My love for Mexico explodes when I think of cenotes, swimming with turtles, swimming with whale sharks, galavanting in the turquoise waters of Isla Mujeres and visiting the Plastic Bottle Floating Island. If you love adventure and you’re heading to Mexico here’s five fabulous Yucatan Adventures not to miss… Read More
Discovering some of the secrets hidden behind the seemingly interminable doors and walls of Colonial Mexico is an ongoing challenge. It’s true, I have a thing about doors, windows and door knobs.
Much of Mexico’s magic architecture shows itself as the great walls, doors and windows that you see when you are out walking the streets. Heavily influenced by Spain with a hint of French in places there’s some intricate and interesting walls, doors and windows. Read More
We’ve just been blown away by Hierve El Agua – Mexico’s Petrified Waterfall – a freaky quirk of nature we found in the valleys of Central Mexico.
Hierve el Agua – the Petrified Waterfall is a unique and off the beaten path experience and not exactly what we expected to find in Mexico.

We’d seen Petrified Wood but never ‘Petrified Water’ so we were super curious.
And it’s one of only two like it in the world (the other one is in Turkey) we’re off to check out this little hidden gem today.
Escaping from Cancun we head down the coast to Tulum, the unassuming sibling to Playa Del Carmen. Tulum seems like an undiscovered paradise compared with some of the other tourist spots along the coastline. Set on the Caribbean Sea in the Yucatan Peninsula, Tulum is home also to the famous Tulum Mayan Ruins.
Here in Valladolid we found many women wear the traditional Mayan huipil — white cotton blouses or dresses adorned with bright, flowered embroidery. Traditional dress in everyday life reflects a deep culture that we enjoy and seek to find in a place.
And if you fancy yourself in one, you can buy them in the Mercado de Artesanias, a block from the city’s beautiful, newly refurbished Parque Principal, or Zocolo as they are commonly known in Mexico.
