Hidden Gem

Spectacular views, a hidden gem

Just off the highway, easy to get to, but still felt undiscovered, as just few tourists were there at midday, all the better, as the place is amazing, so well preserved and maintened, on a par with Uxmal, but scaled down, modestly priced and yes,...More

My favorite Ruin to go to when friends visit me in Merida

Mayapan is one of my favorite small ruins in Yucatan. It is my standard trip when taking guests to a ruin that is not too far outside of Merida. Very well kept and not many other tourists on weekdays. Highly recommended if you are visiting...More

My brother and I visited the Mayapan Mayan Ruins before visiting any of the other historical sites, and we were very impressed with them. Even having visited all the other well known sites such as Chichen Itza and Uxmal, though impressive, we particularly enjoyed Mayapan...More

The Last Great Mayan Capitol

These Mayan ruins are south of Merida and not near anything else. You turn onto a dirt road from the main road. We were unsure sure we had arrived until you see a few cars parked to your left and a small cement building in...More
