Mayan Ruins
The Yucatan Peninsula is literally teeming with Mayan ruins. You will find them along the highways, walking through the jungle, even in the middle of golf courses.

Tulum
Tulum was the only Mayan city built directly on the ocean. The site, which is thought to date from 400 - 900 A.D., is indeed worth a visit. After you have toured the grounds and admired the view, why not take a refreshing dip in the inviting waters of the Caribbean? There is a beautiful, pristine beach directly in front of the site.

Chichen Itza
One of the best known and most visited archaeological sites in the Yucatan, Chichen Itza’s stunning examples of post-Classic period architecture really must be seen in person to be appreciated. We recommend that you hire a guide or at least buy a booklet to better understand this exceptional site. Chichen Itza can be reached by continuing on beyond Coba until you reach the Autopista at Valladolid. There are numerous daily tour buses that will take you there.

If you prefer to go it alone, we recommend you get there early (the gates open at 9 a.m.). There is something magical about being on the grounds of the city as the morning sun rises, with very few other people about. As the day progresses, the tour buses will start coming in, delivering a crowd of tourists.
