We enjoyed walking through the ruins and seeing all of the iguanas was fun. There were very few people and it was peaceful. It was a little hard to find and a few more signs would be helpful in...

For $10 we had a personal guide who provided us with an amazing experience with tons of info and history of the Quintana Roo area. Also it was within walking distance of our hotel!!

Close to the hotel we did check it out. Interesting but also limited information provided. Make sure you do it early in the day otherwise it’s too hot. An older man is walking around offering giving a tour. If you don’t book him he comes back with stupid comments which I found absolutely inappropriate and he should stop doing that. Takes about 30 minutes to visit the site. Best are the animals you can see…
