Tours are a bit rushed, so next time I prefer to go there individually.

The peninsula is like a second home for us, and the first time I traveled there was for Maya ruins. As crazy as it sounds, with all the tourists, you can still find some off the beaten track to visit. Glad to see you included Mayapan and Kohunlich. My favorite of the ones you listed is Coba, for its jungle setting and its stelae.

Yes, the Temple of the Masks was a great delight at Kohunlich, as were the giant palms. I’m thrilled you’ll add these destinations to your list!

I always love a reason to return to a previous travel destination, especially in Mexico! There are several Yucatan ruins that get overshadowed by the more prominent sites. They are still restoring a site near Bacalar that has yet to open to the public. I read it’s one of the biggest Mayan Ruins in the Yucatan!

Thanks for reading Nancy! I love learning about the Mayan culture from the guides when visiting the Mayan ruins as well.

Especially the Temple of Masks at the Kohunlich Mayan Ruins. Great capture. And the image from Chichen Itza is stellar! Pinned a few of your pics!

I visited a few that you talked about – Tulum and Chichen Itza, but then totally missed out on Kohunlich and Mayapan, they werent even on my radar. Great post, I need to go back soon and do these.
