Walking through the Mayan ruins while listening to our tour guide explaining the history and science behind everything was an amazing experience. It was a great insight towards the brilliance of our ancestors and destroyed wisdoms. Mathematical facts behind the pyramid is a must to pay attention thing for anyone visiting - like when and how the snake form comes down from the heaven(pyramid stairs), or how the pyramid gives off bird sounds while clapping, the key numbers in correspondence to the lunar cycle, the Mayan calendar and so on. No wonder it is one of the Wonders of the World !
Absolutely amazing! This is one of the most amazing places we’ve ever visited. We’ve been twice and I would gladly go back. The history is incredible, the ruins unbelievable and the carvings are amazing. If you get the opportunity, go!
On a side note, a family member took a nasty fall while we were there and was bleeding a bit. The on site paramedics were somehow there within five minutes and took amazing care of our family member.

Must see…get a guide so you learn about the history-it’s worth it. How the official guide inside the site for less than the ones outside. Marked down for the disorganization of the site regarding tourists. Lines were long (45+min) at 9am. 50 buses in the lot? No parking at the site. Once you get to the front of the line there are non need windows-you have to visit 2 to pay the different fees -one to state and one to the site-but this is not marked ahead of time. Then you get in another 15-20 min line to get your ticket scanned. Took over an hour from arrival to entrance. Could have been way more efficient so be ready. Grounds are hot but there are a couple spots to get drinks and snacks. Bucket list item but to miss, but be ready to be frustrated with lack of efficiency.
Absolutely stunning! A fantastic area surrounding a famous archaeological location. You must visit here when in Mexico and make sure you go with a local guide who can tell you the history of the area and make sure you do not miss any of the stunning features. Also keep an eye out for the iguanas that have made the area their home.
A must see and definitely a place to add to your bucket list. Drove from Cancun and it took about 2 and half hours with little to no traffic for most of the drive. Definitely worth booking a tour when factoring in the price of tolls & gas if you are looking for a more budget friendly option. The toll lines could take up to 15 minutes. Several times just before arriving we were waved our by tour locations that made it seem like we had to get a tour but, luckily from reading all the reviews before we just keep driving. We didn’t get a tour guide and definitely would not say it is mandatory although I did already know a lot about the location and culture before this trip. If you don’t then getting a tour with transportation would definitely be a great option. We parked at a local spot just before the official parking which was about a five minute walk to the park. We bought tickets when we arrived. We went on a week day and arrived a little before noon and waited about 15-20 minutes to get our tickets. We were able to walk the entire park in less than 3 hours. Plenty of options from souvenir vendors all over the park and from the walk in. Overall it was an amazing experience and definitely the best place we went to when visiting the the Yucatán peninsula.
A true wonder of the world. This place is amazing. I recommend you arrive early to avoid the crowds and the heat. I highly recommend you get a tour guide. A guide will explain so much and will make you appreciate this place even more.
A must see - rain or shine. Don't miss the opportunity to imagine what the good life in a prior civilization was like. We will be learning from these people for a long time! And the place is still visually and architecturally spectacular!
Awesome experience while visiting Mexico! Would recommend going in the morning as early as possible to avoid the crowds and before it gets brutally hot! Loved learning the history and being able to walk around and explore. There is also lots of vendors there to do some shopping.
