Im trying to upload more pictures but its giving me some error. We stayed in cozumel and took a ferry across the the main land. You have to leave pretty early because it really is a all day trip there and back. We had the ferry into playa and got the rental there but to my understanding you can get tour packages in cancun where they drive you out there on a bus. It might be a good idea if your worried about getting lost because unless you go on the 'super highway' there isnt alot of signs. We left from playa on alot of two lane roads through the jungle(if you want to call it that) and i was never really worried, just have a good map and a quick prayer and you will be fine.
Oyeah, you cant really tell but chichen itza is a
huge compound. I just throught there was just going to be the main pryamid but there is tons of other buildings everywhere. I was very surprised how many building in all there are, its amazing what people could build with there hands.
Welcome to Chichén-Itzá Even this doesnt fully show how big the entire area is - bring good walking shoes.
