Review & FAQ:

Hundreds of Maya ruins are scattered throughout Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico, but the Yucatan Peninsula, an area encompassing Playa del Carmen, Cancun, and Tulum, is the most impressive of them all. This is especially true when it comes to the Ruins of Tulum, the only seaside ruins that provide visitors with a truly unique experience where history and nature beautifully collide. There are three additional tours of Maya ruins that are especially popular, including the COBA ruins thirty minutes northwest of Tulum, and Ek Balam and Chichen Itza, both about a 2.5 to 3-hour journey from Tulum. The latter is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
