They are not the most popular spot for Mayan ruins but its easily accesible if you do not have the time to visit Chichen Itza. There are around 40 stone structres and you need to do your own research. There are not many signages or information next to the structures. You will see a lot of iguanas in this location. An interesting location to explore if you are in the hotel zone. Do not miss it.

Then when i arrived to check in, they said last rode was at 8:30. And we ended up going up around 8:20. So just make sure you go with time. If you do end up going, do daytime or subset hours.

The greenery is well-kept and watered. In fact, the sprinklers were running when I arrived. Parking is scarce and no restrooms exist, but it's a great start to any visit of Cancun and it's famous "Hotel Zone." Minus one-star for the complete lack of amenities, but - nevertheless - it's a great backdrop to tag any visit to Cancun.

Welcome to Quintana Roo! Here's a flower! This is a cool…read moreblue sculpture by the artist Sebastian. He's a Mexican sculpture that San Antonians know well- he did the giant red International Torch of Friendship on S. Alamo by Rivercenter Mall. He also did the gate in the recently renovated roundabout by the San Antonio Public Library. His sculptures are monumental, with metal painted in bright colors and bent and curved in ways that make it seem almost organic. This flower brightens any traveler's day as they pass it on the busy road that takes you by it. At night, it's illuminated. This artist has done large scale sculptures all over the world representing Mexico's design and culture in the USA as well as Japan. San Antonio seems to be sister cities with a lot of the cities that Sebastian seems to be involved with.

These snakes all stand at guard, with their tails in the air, forming a traffic circle that almost looks like an astrological calendar with snakes. I believe this is the same serpent god as Quetzcoatl in Teotehuican. The heads of the snakes are like what you seen in local archaelogical sites like the Palace of the Thousand Columns in Chichen-Itza. They spray water out during the day, and are illuminated at night.
