One of the largest Mayan Cities in the world, Chichen Itza represents the pinnacle of this civilization's time on the peninsula. Everything from the majestic pyramid of Kukulcan to the Mayan astronomic observatory will leave you amazed by the ingenuity necessary for its creation. Ek-Balam With research still in progress some believe Ek-Balam could end up being a more traveled to settlement than Chichen-Itza. The main temples which housed governors and priests are considered sacred town centers which can be determined by their location within the walls of the city. The "common" citizen found their home on the outskirts of the walls and were on their own for protection. Many believe the main purpose of the walls was for defense against invading attackers and last ditch efforts to expand them can found throughout the grounds. - Light sportswear, swimsuits, towels, walking shoes, hat, camera, and sunscreen are recommended. - Bottled water is provided. - Entrance fees are as follows: Chichen Itza: 27 USD/Children: 5 USD Ek Balam: 23 USD/Children: 5 USD Dzinub: 8 USD/Children: 4 USD Valladolid: Free Lunch Buffet at Xay Beh Restaurant: 10 USD/Children: 5 USD - At all archaeological sites in Mexico, there is an $8-$10 charge for bringing a video camera. - Children's rates apply for ages 1-12.
