Mexico – El Bakam

Posted on February 24, 2023September 13, 2024

This site was the last on our visit. We booked a tour that included lunch, and a Cenote (our third Cenote). The best part of this site was the fact that tourists can climb the pyramid (as of this posting).

The steps on the left (last photo) are a temple near the entrance of the facility. Tourists can walk up those as well. The last picture above is the main temple/pyramid and you can see people ascending the steep steps in the photo. The smaller temple near the entrance provides a spectacular view of the entire facility from the top.

When we got to the top of the main temple, someone was kind enough to take a picture of us, then we headed back down and around the back of the building, where they’re doing some reconstructive work.

We managed to get some free time to run around and take more pictures. Tourists are allowed to climb on most of the ruins (signs are clearly posted for ruins that are off-limits).

The Cenote

The Cenote that we visited on this trip was fully underground. You can repel down the hole in the top into the water, or walk around and jump in. There is also an elevated platform where you can zip line into the water. We didn’t get into the water, but I took some pictures (these are pictures before tourists began repelling down the orange lines in the distance):
