Chichen Itza Facts!
- Meaning: Chichen Itza means ¨at the mouth of the well of Itza
- Size: These Mayan ruins covers an area of 6.5 sq km (2.5 sq miles). Chichen Itza was one of the largest Mayan cities and it was likely to have been one of the mythical great cities and the capital of two empires.
- Must see Chichen Itza´s most impressive sights and structures are located in the central zone. Here you´ll find the Juego de Pelota or Ball Court, several platforms, temples, and the spectacular Pyramid of Kukulkan (one of the new Seven Wonders of the Word). It is a massive 25 meter or 80 feet high stone representation of the Maya calendar. Toltec warriors are represented in the carvings around the doorway at the top of El Castillo.

After exploring Chichen Itza in the morning you will be taken to a nearby Cenote (unique to the Mayan Riveria) where you will be able to escape the heat and go for a dip in the clear water.

Jennifer Pytlarz –
This tour was excelente! My friend and I booked it at the last minute and while we didn’t receive confirmation and had to make a few calls to the booking agency late at night to get it figured out it worked out in the end. Customer service was very helpful. The tour itself was so much fun. It’s a long day with several hours spent on the road, but well worth it. The motorcoach was brand new and super comfortable with leather reclining seats, TVs and a clean bathroom. All of the tour staff were very friendly and the main tour guide (Beto) made it fun and informative. The tour was generous with providing some snacks, water and beer! Take the day and go out and explore. You’ll be glad you did!

I would definitely recommend this tour if you have kids. It was much more kid friendly on this bus with much more room, tables, onboard drinks, and a light breakfast in the morning. Oh I and I can´t forget to mention the bathroom. A definite neccesity with kids! We nearly got a van tour but after going on this tour we quickly noticed we would have had issues on a regular van tour. If you are traveling with kids I would highly recommend this tour!
