Exploring the Mayan World
Ek’ Balam
S1 E3:
Join Dr. Barnhart for a trip to two of his favorite places in the Yucatán: Valladolid and Ek’ Balam. The first offers travelers a chance to see a traditional agave distillery and an all-female troop of competitive horseback riders. The second is the well-preserved ruins of what was once a Maya capital, where you’ll witness reenactors demonstrating musical instruments and the Maya ball game.
