Positives:

  • Shaded Resting Spots: Indoor exhibits and natural tree cover let you take breaks out of direct sun.
  • Wide Paved Paths: Main walkways fit a stroller for short stretches near the entrance.

Challenges:

Lots to observe and learn about the Mayan culture and their regional responsibilities for trade and how it evolved their means of living. Book a tour your first time and gain a true appreciation for the history of the region.

Well worth the visit. Just dont come at leak sun time, you will suffer greatly. Get a guide, dont walk aimlessly like us! Paraiso Beach is much much better to visit by car. You just need a reservation at the beach club. So when here just enjoy the ruins and go to the beach by car.

Reservations have to be made in advance for the park to let you enter. You do...
