Archeological Site of Mayapan Reviews
I have visited Mayan ruins in Tulum and the larger site nearby, but Mayapan is in a class of its own in my opinion. The structures are very well preserved, and it’s easy to imagine it as a thriving Mayan city. What makes it special is visitors are allowed to climb the biggest temple and the other ruins. The level of exploration you are allowed is amazing. You aren’t looking past roped off areas like in the other spots I’ve visited. We climbed and explored for several hours. Make sure to wear closed toe shoes if you are planning on climbing. I highly recommend this spot!
