    99% of tourists who come to Cancun will choose to check in at the New 7 Wonders of the World! It takes about 2 and a half hours to drive from Cancun Hotel to Chichen Itza to learn about the past and present of the Mayan ruins. There are many souvenir stalls around, which can be given to relatives and friends. It is recommended that tourists snorkel in the surrounding Mayan patios in the afternoon. The clear river water will relax you! For more travel needs in Mexico, please consult me. [Note] It is very hot in Chichen Itza. There is basically no shade. Tourists should pay attention to sun protection and prepare sunglasses and umbrellas. Please bring your own swimsuit and swimming equipment for snorkeling. Changing rooms are provided.

    Ik Kil Cenote, or Cenote Ik kil, is located in the central area of ​​the northern Yucatan Peninsula, near the Ik Kil Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza. Cenote, a limestone pit, a swamp, a cave-like sinkhole, a vertical shaft, here refers to a natural limestone pit, a sinkhole. The word Cenote comes from ts'onot, a Mayan language (Yucatec Maya, Yucatec Mayan), which means lowland. Yucatec Mayan is a Yucatecan dialect of the ancient Mayan language that can be traced back to 5,000 years ago. The Mayans used Cenotes for sacrifice. Ik Kil, considered sacred by the Mayans, was a place where the Mayans worshipped their rain god Chaac. This place was also used by the Mayans as a place to relax and have fun. In the deep water area of ​​this tiankeng, cave explorers and archaeologists have found jewelry fragments and bone fragments. One theory is that the tiankeng was formed by rainwater erosion; another theory is that the tiankeng was formed by meteorite impact. The entrance of the tiankeng opens to the sky, about 26 meters (85 feet) from the ground to the water surface, and there is a winding path from the ground to the water surface; there is a spring on the wall of the tiankeng flowing into the pit pool, but the water in the pit pool does not seem to increase or decrease; the diameter of the tiankeng is about 60 meters (200 feet) and the water depth is about 40 meters (130 feet). Some people walked from the ground to the water surface before slowly swimming in the water, and some people jumped from the platform halfway. I have a fear of heights, but fortunately I don’t have a fear of lows, so I was happy to explore the water. I just feel that time passed too quickly, and I will try to soak for a day next time. Since the cenote is located near the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, on the road to Valladolid, we visited Chichen Itza first, then the cenote, and then the Church of San Gervasio in Valladolid. It was already night when we returned to the Cancun hotel area. At night, we took a "free" ride to visit the beaches and lagoons of the Cancun cenote again, because although I reminded him several times, the driver was excited all the way and rushed to the airport, forgetting to stop and drop me off... Then, then I went back to the hotel by myself. Then...no matter what happened at night, the morning is always so beautiful. Of course, I slept by the rooftop swimming pool again until the morning light and the sea breeze woke me up. Looking back, soaking in the cenote and sleeping on the roof are the best vacations. A quick tour is just a tour, not a vacation. 【Scenery】Natural scenery, a different world. 【Fun】Swimming, diving, sightseeing, sightseeing, free choice, suitable for men, women, young and old. [Value for money] It is worth a visit. The value for money is very high.

    Great little visit. It's actually right next to Chichen Itza so there's a lot to see. Would recommend going early to avoid the crowds and heat. Bring cash if you want to buy souvenirs

    The Plaza of the Thousand Columns is a large Mayan site in Chichen Itza. Although the number of columns is a bit exaggerated, there are more than 100 stone columns. It used to be a sacrificial site and is very mysterious. The columns are arranged very closely, giving people a sense of density and a solemn and oppressive feeling.
