Visited here in mid February 2013. We arrived just as the place was opening and our coach was the second one there. Best advice I can give is to be there as early as possible. This site is vast but gets very busy later in the day and this detracts from the wonder. It also gets very hot, remember you... More

If you ever have watched History Channel and seen some of the great wonders including the pyramids of Egypt (to which I have also been), then this is worth every minute of the three hours drive to get there. There is not enough space to talk to the history, culture and beauty of this site, and so best to research... More

See, learn, think and try to understand... Be there before the coach tours come to avoid crowds. Take your time and let your imagination fill the place with the missing elements, particularly the people that used to live there...

It is an amazing site to see,, you can do it with or without a guide, they charge about 750 pesos (English) to take you around the site. You will need to take plenty of sunscreen, water, maybe a hat or umbrella. Most of the the sites are out in the open and most of the shaded areas are taken... More

I visited Chicen Itza in a hot day. It's fantasic! Chichen Itza is the most restored Mayan ruin I believe so that people can see the original face of the pyramind when it was just built. The place is extremely hot so make sure you bring enough water! Better to arrive Chichen Itza in the morning (I arrived at 9am),... More

This is a truly awe-inspiring site and is highly recommended. When you visit, take plenty of water with you - it's a huge area and the sun is HOT, with very little shade. It's impossible to describe the grandeur of the ruins - there are enough pictures here to give an excellent impression of what you will see. But the... More

What an amazing site. Don't try and do this on your own, get a tour guide. There is so much to take in and experience that you can easily miss if you you don't have a guide. There are nearby hotels with good buffets for food and drink. Plan to be there for a while and get comfortable shoes. Lots... More

Viewing the ruins was absolutely amazing. However, there are few things you should know before you go. First of all, it is ridiculously hot here. You will need tons of water, an umbrella or hat at minimum, and sun block. Shade is limited. After you pass the bathroom at the entrance, there is only one more bathroom and it is... More
