What else can you do when you visit Chichen Itza ?

The area is a very delightful place to visit as much for its ancient symbols as for its exotic surroundings.

Practice Birdwatching

You can also practice birdwatching in the Chichen Itza surroundings as there is a bird refuge around.

A variety of tropical and exotic birds, such as balckbirds or flycatchers, can be seen all year round, even from hotels or bungalows.

Visit Balankanche Caves

When visiting Chichen-Itza, don’t forget to see the Balancanche Caves, a Mayan ceremonial shrine.

Here, you can take a comfortable underground walk in a cavern of stalactites and stalagmites.

The caves are located around 6 km away from Chichen Itza.

Visit Tulum

Tulum is another popular tourist destination.

Though not as imposing as Chichen Itza, Tulum is set in a spectacular location, near the beach and it is well worth visiting too.

Visit Coba

Coba, another Mayan ruined city is found just 115 km away from Chichen Itza.
