Q: I'M ON A CRUISE SHIP - CAN
I DO THESE TOURS?
A: The only one that is a maybe would be the private
tour. You'll still need at least 10 hours, but if
you're in port long enough, you can do this one. On
a cruise excursion, though, you'll be better served to visit
Tulum or Coba, both of which are much closer.
Q: HOW FAR AWAY IS CHICHEN
ITZA?
A: Chichen Itza is about a 2.5 hour drive from Playa
del Carmen.
Q: I'M NOT SURE WHICH MAYAN
RUINS SITE TO SEE?
A: If you are staying in Playa del Carmen, and only
have time to see one ruins site, Chichen Itza should be
it. It is the only ruins site in the area to be a
"wonder of the world" and a UNESCO Heritage Site.
It is the most impressive ruins site in the area, and the
most famous. The other sites are great too, but there
is only one Chichen Itza.
