The first Mayan site we visited was Ek Balam. It is about an hour’s drive away from Chichen Itza. I felt drawn to this site because of the cool winged figures on the walls of the main pyramid/temple, Temple I. These figures are amazing and look like Mayan Angels. I also liked the arch as you enter the site. The ball court and other temples were nice but not as impressive as Temple I and the arch. I chanted mantras in a couple of these temples and left a crystal offering at one of the temples.
