Archeological Site of Mayapan

06/27/22

I have visited Mayan ruins in Tulum and the larger site nearby, but Mayapan is in a class of its own in my opinion. The structures are very well preserved, and it’s easy to imagine it as a thriving Mayan city. What makes it special is visitors are allowed to climb the biggest temple and the other ruins. The level of exploration you are allowed is amazing. You aren’t looking past roped off areas like in the other spots I’ve visited. We climbed and explored for several hours. Make sure to wear closed toe shoes if you are planning on climbing. I highly recommend this spot!

Guides have a deep attachment to the site, and provide visitors with impressive knowledge and unique interpretations of the ruins. I know this isn't usually the most ad...

Swim in Cenote Oxman

The cenote is part of the Hacienda San Lorenzo Oxman complex, a center that as of now is still relatively small but clearly aiming for growth in the near future, with bars, a pool lounge area, and campground all present and active construction going on. However, until the tour busses come flooding in, Cenote Oxman is surreally beautiful, large, and has a jumping platform with a rope swing where...
