# Pre-Hispanic City of Chichen-Itza Tours and Activities

![I was super excited to get to see this in person. The site is so much more than this singular temple. Behind where I was standing is a ball court, off to the life is the sacrificial cenote or sinkhole, and behind this temple there is another structure. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6052401/a620c628-ef6b-4089-aed5-ec81875931bb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

![Chichen Itza in Mexico... Mayan ruins are pretty amazing to see, especially with an ominous storm cloud overhead!](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6052401/502b4c31-aab1-4fd1-8a80-c2f76d4118b1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

![Morning view of El Castillo, the Mayan pyramid at the heart of Chichén Itzá.  While it's not particularly tall (about as tall as the pyramid at the Louvre), I found it quite beautiful and particularly well-proportioned.  I like to think that, given it's rather late construction date (~1200AD), it was the culmination of centuries of refinement.  In that sense it reminded me of the Taj Mahal, which itself was inspired by centuries of improvements in Mughal tomb architecture.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6052401/bd4a3d97-fec4-4b10-a3ab-7afa02b5bc05.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

![If you go to only one ruin in the Cancun area, I would highly recommend Chichen Itza. It will be an all day excursion but well worth it.  Go as early as possible with a reputable and knowledgeable tour company (we used Thomas Moore) and in a small group.  We were there in the month of June and arrived mid morning. As we were leaving,  the place was starting to get packed with all the larger tour buses and was getting very warm.  I have also visited Tulum in June but was disappointed after have already visited Chichen Itza.  
I believe that you can no longer climb the well known Kukulkan Pyramid.  ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6052401/3edc2784-4a4a-4c77-9b4a-c4184f9446b5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

We loved our stay since the moment we arrived, the hotel is absolutely beautiful and such a great design. The staff, especially Kat and Steph were amazing and welcoming us like old friends. Cleaning crew put cute birthday decorations as a surprise. The beach club staff super quick and friendly. Great location with the walks to each of the opposite sides of the beach. We had all the places accessible to us by walking on the beach. Had a great time celebrating Delek’s Bday weekend with sick music and great people which was one of the highlights of our stay. I do have to say, they send out a note that it’s a loud location and there will be noise. Unfortunately, I underestimated it because the noise from all of the restaurants, hotels around was insane. Till 2am we had a sound party in our room every night. But we still had such a good time, even the noise didn’t ruin our stay, we just stayed up longer and slept in the morning. Note to the staff, please fix a hole in the roof as it was dripping when it rained and got onto our clothes and suitcase. Thanks for having us and we will definitely be back hopefully sooner than later.
