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.

The Anthropological museum is one of the best museums in the world supposedly and is really informative- the kind of place you could spend half a day in. The admission price is only a couple of pounds. There are exhibits on the pre historic period, lots of information on the Aztecs and there are also travelling exhibits here on world anthropology.
