We enjoyed this temple. Walking round you could get a sense of how they lived and played and our guide gave us a very good insight into how they lived.

If you are staying in Uxmal you will undoubtedly visit many temples - they are all interesting but best visited with a tour guide to find out all the history.

The temple complex has been carefully restored in areas so that one can get the feeling of what it was like. You need to carry water and give yourself 3-4 hours to see everything. It I'd best to visit the site at 8 am when it opens because the sun makes it very hot.

Our visit to Uxmal was part of an overnight excursion from Playa del Carmen. The temples at Uxmal are far more elaborate in design and detail than Chichen Itza and Tulum and are beautifully preserved. We stayed for the night show and it is wonderful. They have a system of colored lights that are synchronized with a Mayan story, and... More

Forget about Chichen Itza, forget about Palenque...quiet area, hidden in the forest welcomes you with the massive temple at the very entrance to the park...wow..just beautiful & peaceful..seems unexplored and forgotten. Yes, I felt a bit like Indiana Jones just about to discover crystal skull ... I want to go back!

We enjoyed the sound and light show and visited the ruins next day and were able to see all the ruins in detail and met all the Iguanas that live in the grounds.

Don't miss this quite beautifull site complitly different from Chichen Itza: no vendors everywere, no barriers. And so, you will be able to walk nearly everywere... and find a sensation of discovery. But don't forget your hat and a bottle of water!

This place kicks Chichen Itza's butt. There are fewer people, there are more ruins, there aren't people trying to sell souveniers to you everywhere, you can actually tell what the ruins used to be, and you can climb some of the ruins (bad for preservation but excellent for getting a view of the layout of the place). Like most everything... More
