| This is one of the Punta Bett resorts -- Los Pentos |
 |
| The next day we went out the new road to Merida hoping to get off before too long and go to a old ruin that has never been uncovered. But, there was no exit and we had to go all the way to Valldadolia to get off. We then drove north to a ruin called Ek balam. On the way we passed through a small old town called Temozon . More about that later. |
 |
| We finally reached the Ekbalam Ruin at the Archological Zone, and proceeded to enter. We noticed that ours was the only car in the lot. |
 |
| Naturally the first thing you have to do is get tickets. The state run site charges $3.00 US a person. |
 |
| Ekbalam is a nice little ruin still in the process of being revived by the gov. Not too many tourist know about it , and most of the tours hav'nt found it yet. The guy selling tickets is the live-in caretaker, and does his job well. |
