What to expect
- 1Ek BalamEk´Balam (Jaguar Star) is a Mayan city that had its maximum development during the Late Classic / Terminal (600-850 / 900 AD) and possibly hosted the "Tlalol" kingdom. The first known king of Ek´Balam is Ukit Kan Le´t Tok (the father of the four flint fronts) who was the builder of most of the sumptuous palace that we now know as Acropolis and many other works. Likewise, he was the promoter of technical and cultural advances, as well as of architectural and decorative wealth, whose best example is Structure 35 Sub, located inside the Acropolis and known as Sak Xok Nahh (white house of reading ), which served as a grave for Ukit Kan Le´t Tok, who was buried with a rich offering made up of more than 7,000 pieces such as ceramic vessels, shell objects, snail and tumbaga. 2 hrs
