Chichen Itza
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I’ve personally experienced that booking day trips to places like Chichen Itza or local cenotes makes the vacation much more memorable.
- I was far more impressed and interested by Petra, The Taj Mahal, and Chichen Itza.
- You can also take 1-2 day trips to Chichen Itza or the beautiful island of Holbox.
- Oaxaca, Chichen Itza, and CDMX offer rich history, delicious food, and vibrant culture.
- And then ended up at Tulum and Chichen Itza.
Cons
- If you’re into ruins, I’d actually skip Chichen Itza unless it’s something you really want to see — it’s impressive, but very crowded and feels more like a quick stop than an experience.
- We really liked the Tulum temples too, more than Chichen Itza!
- For ruins, skip Chichen Itza if you can - it's basically a tourist zoo.
