    About
    Although not as popular as Chichén Itzá, these ancient Mayan ruins are noteworthy in their own right, as this is the site where Mayan women paid tribute to the goddess of love and fertility.

    Beautiful site, can get very hot!

    Tour guide Nacho was great!

    It is definitely worth hiring a private tour guide. The tour guide Nacho was very knowledgeable and professional. It multiplied the value of the visit with the interpretations.

    Disapointed but glad I went

    I was disappointed by this experience--not by the ruins but by the lack of information available at them and by the limited ability to see the ruins. There were only a few small poster sized displays with information about the ruins--the area could benefit from...More

    Visited as part of the Jeep tour

    This is a very interesting archaeological site of the ancient Mayan civilization. Our tour guide, Juan from the facility was extremely informative and tied in the significance of this site with the other sites in the Yucatan and other areas on the mainland,

    NOT STROLLER FRIENDLY! We attempted to bring it into the ruins but just ended up carrying both our baby and the stroller separately.

    Hi, we end up renting a jeep so we could drive around the island. It was about 100 dollars plus the gas . There are cabs available that could drive you to the ruins , I am not sure about their charge.
