Dzibilchaltún - Dzibilchaltún

This place was really cool. There's a lot to see here, and the ruins are in fairly good shape. The tour is quite interesting as well; our guide was extremely knowledgeable about Mayan culture and history. Definitely worth checking out.

It was reasonable to get here in an Uber from Merida. Nice and close and not a lot of walking at this site. We paid 450 pesos for an English-speaking guide and he was great. You can enjoy some time in the cenote if you like, to cool off. A lot of people were enjoying it.

November 21, 2020 - They are Closed due to COVID-19 and google was not updated. It will be open next year in January according to the government official at the information center down the block. The person in charge of the site should have the common courtesy to update the hours on google so people stop wasting their time driving to a closed site. Update: April 17, 2021 - The site is now half open. The ruins are open but the museum is closed for renovations and the cenote is closed. It was very hot (107 degrees Fahrenheit) so make sure to bring lots of water. The cost is 259 mxn per person (non-mexican) full price even though the cenote and museum are closed. Parking is 20 mxn. Do not bring a backpack or purse as they will make you get a locker for 50 mxn at the entrance. The ruins were better than expected. Worth the trip - you can even climb one of the pyramids to the top but be careful as the steps are very steep. Raised my review to 3 stars, they should tell you ahead of time that the museum and cenote are closed. 21 de noviembre de 2020: están cerrados debido a COVID-19 y Google no se actualizó. Abrirá el próximo año en enero, según el funcionario del gobierno en el centro de información ubicado en la misma cuadra. La persona a cargo del sitio debe tener la cortesía común de actualizar el horario en Google para que la gente deje de perder el tiempo conduciendo a un sitio cerrado.

Not anywhere near as awesome as Uxmal or chichen itza but if you are staying in Merida it really is a must do. As of Jan 2021, both the museum and cenote are closed, which was unfortunate because every one seems to love the museum - we could only look through the window. Site is broken up into two sides, the hut pyramid on one end of a raised road and the rest of the ruins on the other end. About a 1/4 mile apart on a raised road. Bring water because if its hot out you will need it. There are also over 20 monoliths in the city, three that we found while exploring. You can also climb on the structures - but not the hut looking one.

Sadly it’s closed. A few men out front tell you that they aren’t open. It’s closed over money according my driver. I don’t know the local politics of it but I was very sad not to be able to see them. There is a cool church around the corner and a little park area with birds where I took some pictures. Don’t waste money on the ride there like I did ☹️

A small site made famous by the Temple of the Seven Dolls where crowds of Hippies gather during solstices to observe sunlight shining through the temple door and windows. Wow! Price of admission is around 10 USD and they will charge you for parking. There is a nice cenote on-site that, under normal circumstances, is open for swimming. These days i hear the cenote is closed until further notice. One interesting thing about these ruins is the catholic chapel erected by the Franciscan friars in the1500s meaning, the place was occupied when the Spaniards arrived.

Where you can walk through ruins from 500!!! Imagine the millions of feet that have walked the same steps as you. A treasure!! Bird life is also off the hook on the edges of the site. Keep a eye out for those breathtaking beauties!!!!!

Having visited Chichenitza and Teotihuacan, I wasn't expecting much of this small archeological site after reading some of the other reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised! The main city center near the cenote is quite expansive with several Mayan structures (as well as a Spanish church that was built after the site was originally found five centuries ago). There's a garden near the cenote on the far end of the central plaza, and three of the standing stones (after which the site was given its name) are on the opposite side of the city center, on the right as you are heading to the temple of the Seven Dolls. It was not crowded at all but the few other groups that were there seemed to miss these standing stones all together, so keep your eyes open if you go! On the other end of the ancient white road, you'll find the temple with another standing stone right in front of it. The cenote and museum are closed for the time being, but there's an exhibit of Mayan carvings on the pathway outside the museum which was pretty cool. The cenote is full of water lilies too, which is absolutely beautiful. The admission price for foreigners came to be about 13 USD per person, which is pretty high for the lesser known archeological sites we've visited in Mexico, but honestly both my partner and I felt it was money well spent after our visit.
