Although it is not so well known, it is worth a visit. Nice, educative, quiet, with a nice small museum.

Given its close proximity to Merida, we were determined to visit Dzibilchaltun and learn how to get around all at the same time. This was definitely a worthwhile quest. The site itself is relatively small. The history and the quality of the structures and cenote, as well as the wonderful guided tour, made it a perfect starting point for learning...

Very good ruins, cenote is really nice and safe to swim in, the best is that you can go as many times as you want being a 30 minute drive from gran plaza mall.

Our Mayan guide was great - he relayed lots of information, and showed pride in his heritage! Some people enjoyed a dip in the lagoon. We thought the museum of Mayan history and Spanish...
