Location and Information
We took a tour to see the Ek' Balam ruins and the location was awesome with the exception of the hot dry humidity. The site was large and all the ruins appeared to be in good shape for their age. Definitely an amazing place to explore!
History:
Ek' Balam was occupied from the Middle Preclassic through the Postclassic, although it ceased to thrive as a major city past the Late Classic. Beginning in the Late Preclassic, the population grew and the city expanded throughout the following periods. At its height from 770 to 840 CE, Ek' Balam provides a rich resource of information for understanding northern Classic cities, due to the poor preservation of many other notable northern Maya sites.
