Pirámide Kinich Kak Moo

Historical landmark

👍 Located two blocks away from the convent, it is one of the largest pyramids built by the Maya. The access is free, though the entrance is a bit hidden between two buildings. The pyramid is only partially restored so if you're expecting Teotihuacan-style edifice, you might be disappointed.

Fuerte de Santiago

Fortress

4.60 (1.2K reviews) (~47.77 km from centre)

Uxmal

Historical landmark

👍👍 Ruins of an ancient Mayan city. The price to enter is 400 pesos, so nearly 20 dollars but in my opinion it is money well spent. The buildings are fabulously restored, and some are still undergoing restoration. The spaces between the buildings are cleared of trees and are reminiscent of what the anci...

Cake House

Restaurant

👍👍 Edificación de forma circular que asemeja un pastel de boda,cuenta con tres pisos,fue construida en 1940 ,además de su esplendida arquitectura destaca porque el icono del cine mexicano Pedro Infante Cruz pasaba sus vacaciones de verano acompañado de su familia en esta residencia la cuál tiene la mej...

Pirámide de Itzamatul

Historical landmark

👍👍 This was a great place to check out and it was free. There was a ton of garbage around the site, and I took my time to clean all of the garbage off around the pyramid. But I still loved the area and all the people around here that live in this city are extremely pleasant and welcoming. I am Buddhist...

Paseo de Montejo. "Xíimbal Nachi Cocom"

Historical landmark

👍 This is a very interesting area worthy to be visited. The "Montejo Paseo" is a 6 km amazing street (built following French style) where you can admire amazing villas from XIX century. At the very end of the street, you will find the "Monumento a la patria" - very nice as well - to go there better to...

The Grand Pyramid

Historical landmark

😠 Crazy expensive!! 80 Pesos for Parking (No camping, you have to pay 300 for camping according to the other comments) plus 495 Pesos per Person for the ruins. When wr learned the entry was so expensive we decided to not go and tried to get the money back from the unfriendly guard, but he didnt give i...

Governor's Palace

Historical landmark

👍 First the negatives- weirdly, we were asked if anybody had a GoPro or other video camera because there was a special “video fee”. Never mind we can use our phones to record video. It is now 2020 guys. The entrance fee seemed high compared to the quantity and quality of explanatory signs. Our tour gu...

Piramide del Adivino

Historical landmark

👍 Be aware of a special video camera fee and General lack of explanatory signs. Otherwise this is a good place to visit. Notice that Egyptian pyramids were built to last forever but Mayan pyramids were only built to last for 52 years. Then, that age was over and they demolished what was there and rebu...

Arco de San Juan

Historical landmark

👍 Me encantó pasar por este barrio. Ya sea a apie o en bici tour, se disfruta mucho la entrada a la ciudad.

4.20 (118 reviews) (~0.63 km from centre)

Cuadrangulo de las Monjas (Quadrangle of the Nuns)

Historical landmark

👍 The quadrangle consists of four palaces placed on different levels that surround a courtyard. Built in 900-1000, the name related with nuns was assigned in the 16th century because it resembled a convent. Will probably appreciate the historical remains better if a guide was there to provide the back...

4.90 (93 reviews) (~69.04 km from centre)

Codz Poop

Historical landmark

👍👍 It is under repairs but you can still see how complex the curves and the decorations are. The masks are in all different emotions, which are magic and fancy.

4.80 (80 reviews) (~79.99 km from centre)

Templo de las Siete Muñecas

Historical landmark

👍👍 Siempre visitar Dzibilchaltun es una muy grata experiencia ya que cada día que uno regresa, se encuentran detalles que antes no se habían visto. Desafortunadamente el museo, el cenote y el mismo Templo de las siete muñecas se encuentran cerrado por diversos motivos. Sin embargo la diversidad de ves...

Arco de Dragones

Historical landmark

😐 Located on 50th and 61st Street, it was named because dragons were found there, and no, it is not about these fantastic animals, but because at this point the Dragon Barracks was located, located on 50th and 61st Street. Today it works as facilities of the Yucatecan Children's Cultural Center.

Ex Salinera - Mina De Oro

Historical landmark

👍👍 El lugar está abandonado y la maleza está crecida, ir en la noche es toda una aventura, pero cuando se alinean los astros, hay luna nueva y buen clima vale la pena ir a tomar fotografía nocturna o inclusive simplemente para quedarte maravillado viendo hasta arriba Recomendable ir en grupos no tan p...

Faro El Palmar

Historical landmark

👍👍 While the lighthouse was closed off the 52 minute drive from Celestún (pretty much a one way dirt road most of the way) was beyond worth it. The pictures don’t do it justice. Not a single person for miles and you could just walk on what seems to be a virgin beach for miles. The seashells were ama...

Ex-hacienda Chochoh

Historical landmark

😐 Una de tantas haciendas henequeneras que tuvieron sus días de gloria y ahora solo quedan algunas partes levantadas. No por ello menos imponentes. Es increíble la construcción de estos lugares y habría sido magnífico verlos en su esplendor.

4.40 (58 reviews) (~16.4 km from centre)

🫤 Sitio en abandono, lástima
