Great site. Quite compact but with all the essential elements and no tourists. Just you, some lizards and some beautiful mot-mots. A much better experience than over-crowded Chitchin-Itza.

Just 1 1/2 hour drive from Telchac, these ruins are well worth the trip. When we visited we were the only people there. The ruins are well preserved and unique. There is a round tower as well as a large pyramid of the same type as at Chichen Itza. You can see painted frescos in one structure and it is... More

I wouldn't go out of the way to check it out but we were on another tour anyways. Not much to see and no crowds and you can climb to the top of the pyramid. Then you can see just how flat the Yucatan is

This Mayan site is the best I have been to for families with small children. The site is impressive but easy to see and to walk to all the buildings. It is not normally overcrowded and climbing on he buildings is permitted. I did not see a single harassing vendor anywhere. A very peaceful place.

30-meter pyramid you can climb - No crowd, in fact, no one else. A great site and a great half-day trip from Merida.

We were heading to Merida and the sun was strong and the temperature was hot. Our Mexican trip always revolves around 3 or 4 major ruins but after a day or two of climbing and walking, we always seem to be "ruined" out faster than expected. Mayapan was a nice way to finish our 2013 Ruin Tour . It has... More
