How can I choose the right day trip to Chichén Itzá?

The first aspect to consider is where you’re staying in Yucatán - Cancún, Playa del Carmen, or Tulum. Then, think about which sites you want to visit - your options include Valladolid, a cenote, and Ekʼ Balam.

Can I customize my day trip itinerary?

Absolutely! You can choose a tour with a pick-up from a common meeting point, or directly from your hotel. Some tours also give you an all-inclusive option that includes all local taxes and entrance fees in the ticket price.

What languages are offered on your Chichén Itzá tours?

The guide for your Chichén Itzá tours will be bilingual, speaking in both Spanish and English.

Are the day trips accessible for visitors with disabilities?

Unfortunately, your Chichén Itzá tours are not recommended for wheelchair users, visitors with limited mobility, or pregnant women.

Do the tours include meals?

Yes, some tours include a buffet-style lunch, so you won’t have to look for good dining options. However, you’re free to buy snacks and drinks whenever you have free time during your tour.

Do I need to carry extra cash on my tour?

Carrying adequate cash is highly recommended, even if you book an all-inclusive tour. This will come in handy if you want to tip your guide, buy souvenirs, or grab a bite. **Pro tip:** carry smaller denominations of the Mexican Peso to make your transactions easier.

Do I need to rent a life jacket for the cenote experience?

Yes, renting a life jacket is mandatory if you plan on taking a dip in a cenote on your tour. This will cost you US$9, and you’ll have to pay this on-site.

What transportation is provided on the tours?

Your transportation will always include an air-conditioned van, ensuring you’re always comfortable, even on hot, sunny days.

Are there any additional costs I should be aware of during the trip?

If you book a tour without local taxes included, you’ll need to pay these on-site at Chichén Itzá. The exact amount will vary depending on which tour you choose, and will be communicated to you. If your tour includes a stop at a cenote, you’ll need to pay for the mandatory life vest rental of US$9.

Is there some way I can experience Chichén Itzá before the site becomes crowded?

The best way to visit Chichén Itzá before the crowds swoop in is to book an early access tour. These start earlier in the morning, getting you to the site just as the sun rears its head above the horizon. You can choose a tour from <experience type="Popup" tgid="12516" title="Cancún" id="ORJ9cLji" /> or <experience type="Popup" tgid="37633" title="Playa del Carmen" id="3dFlOi5R" />, depending on where you’re staying.

An excellent tour. Paulo was insightful, knowledgeable, caring and friendly. He waited for other members, but they didn't show for the tour. He adapted to a smaller group and answered all of our questions fully. He made the whole experience very positive and we left feeling that we knew everything about Chichen Itza - thank you so much. It made our holiday.

Tourists exploring the ancient ruins at Chichen Itza, Mexico.

Chichén Itzá is open every day of the year between 8am and 5pm. Last entry to the site is capped at 4pm.

Best time to visit: The best time to visit the site is in the dry season between November and March, when temperatures range between a balmy 25–30°C. However, the site can get fairly crowded during this period. If you’d prefer exploring it with fewer people around, you should plan your visit during the off-season between June and November.

Vendors selling souvenirs outside Chichen Itza temple, including masks and crafts.

Parking: The site has paid parking available for $100 MXN. You’ll also find other parking lots close by in case the one at the site is full.
Restrooms: The restrooms are conveniently located near the entrance. However, keep in mind that there aren’t any restrooms within the site, so plan ahead.
Souvenir shops: You’ll find a selection of shops where you can buy memorabilia near the entrance or when walking inside. Pro tip: The vendors near the entrance are easier to haggle with.
Lockers: You’ll find lockers at the entrance to store your backpacks after a quick security check. Renting a locker will cost you about $40 MXN.

Oxtun:** Talk about convenience, this restaurant is located right at the main site’s entrance. It offers a wide selection of burgers, tacos, pasta, and steak, all of which come in substantial portions.
La Palapa Tinum:** This family-run restaurant is located at the edge of one of the free parking lots close to the main site. Patrons consistently highlight the warm atmosphere and the delicious food. The drinks are particularly refreshing, especially after a tour of the site under the sharp Yucatán sun.
Puerto Chichén:** Conveniently located about 5km from Chichén Itzá, this restaurant has an extensive menu with plenty of vegan options. Customers particularly appreciate the food’s presentation.

Chichén Itzá is located in the municipality of Tinúm, in Mexico’s Yucatán. It’s located about 180km from the popular coastal city of Cancún, and about 115 km from the state’s capital, Mérida.

Address: 97751 Yucatán, Mexico | Find on Google Maps

Best ways to reach the site:

By bus: A bus is ideal if you don’t want to drive or deal with the hassle of parking. You can take one of Mexico’s ADO buses from Cancún or Mérida.
By car: If you’re driving from Cancún or the Riviera Maya (Playa del Carmen, Tulum), you can take the toll highway 180D westward. It’ll take you about 2.5 hours to reach the site from Cancún.
Take a day trip: If you want a completely hassle-free experience, a day trip from Cancún or Playa del Carmen is your best option. They come with round-trip transfers from a common meeting point or directly from your hotel, and cover other major sites over the course of 10-12 hours.
