You have to go with a tour guide to really appreciate the history of this place. It’s one of the new wonders of the world and it’s definitely worth a visit. The natural sound system was amazing, plus the tour guide gives you the reason why it’s considered to be a wonder of the world and it’s just awesome! Lots of vendors but we were in a tour group so it’s easier not to get distracted by them. Hats/umbrellas are recommended, thankfully the tour provided umbrellas. The structures are related to each other and we learned a lot about the history of this place. Highly recommended!

The experience was amazing, the place is beautiful and so big, wear some comfy snickers for your visit, don’t forget to bring your own bottle of water, inside you can buy something to drink but is too expensive. Bring a hat and sunscreen as is too sunny.

I loved the place but I couldn’t enjoy 100% as there are too many sellers on the side of the road and inside the archaeological zone as well.

One of the biggest city of the Mayan this place is one of the best historical landmarks to see in Mexico. There is a special sound you can hear from the pyramid if you clap your hand standing at the bottom. It’s very mystical and wonderful to experience the culture of the ancient Mayans.

The Mayan temples. Looking at one of the greatest civilizations accomplishment through the building of these temples has been the highlight of my experience here in Mexico. The historical context, visiting the temples, and walking on the grounds where these and genius amazing warrior people lived worshiped and created these amazing monuments was just an exquisite educational experience.

Famous archeological site on the Mexican peninsula. It was worth the visit and to learn about the history of the Mayans and see the majestic structures.
I recommend a private tour if possible so you can go at your own pace. There's not much cover at the site so it can get quite sweltering on a sunny day. Bring a hat or an umbrella.
There are many locals trying to sell you trinkets. Definitely bargain.

These were the most amazing people we took this tour through carnival my goodness it was so awesome the only problem we had was the drive was so long but the tour guides were amazing they made you feel at home...

Do not get caught up with the people selling in the market we were almost left because of that.

Visit was part of my package tour from Cancun. If you are going from Cancun, keep in mind that place is over 3 hours away and trip will be approx 12 hours. Talking about the place, archeological and cultural significance and marvel, 5 star. Loved learning about how it was built and what it represented. Now let's talk about less interesting parts. Extreme commercialization, vendors constantly trying to get you to buy things every single minute. Everything is priced up to match with American tourists, story telling by guide regarding the history is quite dramatized and heard several versions and stories from different guides. Also as part of package tours, they want to make sure you spend more time buying then enjoying prime attraction. My 12 hour tour allowed me to spend less then 2hours at the place and guide rushed from one place to another so I can be put back into bus to be at a place where I can be pressurized to buy something.

I would recommend to get there early before it gets hot, spend more time so you can take break and enjoy each part of the complex. If I would have had that option, I would have given 5 stars.
