Ruinas Del Ray

posted by lweldy on 2 November 2010 at 12:21

Ok, so the Ruinas Del Ray can hardly compare with the sites at Tulum or Chitchen Itza but if you've not got the energy or inclination to make the trek out of town, they are well worth checking out. They seem to be generally empty bar the massive lizards which have dominion here.Most of the ruins date from around 1000 years ago

Coba

posted by wjohns on 2 November 2010 at 12:16

Coba is a complex of astonishing ruins about 30 miles out of town. There are some fantastic things to see here and its well worth the drive and then some treking through stifling hot, insect infested jungle. The highlight of the day is the great pyramid which you can climb - at your own peril it must be said...

Inland 30 miles or so from Tulum

Chichen Itza

posted by vtripp on 25 August 2010 at 17:42

Chichen Itza is an ancient Mayan site and unmissable if you're in nearby Cancun. The most famous thing here is the iconic Castille which is an enormous pyramid. There's much more to the site though and most tour companies will allow you a couple of hours to wonser around as well as some time for a history lesson. It's a long day so take all precautions against sun stroke.

Tulum

Only a short ride from Cancun, This is one of the most spectacular sites in Mexico. There are some incredible Mayan ruins here including a pyramid. The whole scene is framed against the depp ble of the Caribbean and is perhaps the most romantic place I've ever seen.

Just south of Playa del Carmen
