This is a collection from the last 4 or 5 decades by a couple who have opened it up to supervised tours. I shouldn't admit this, but we just drove in and rang the doorbell, while they have 5 scheduled tour times, someone greeted us and accommodated our group. Our guide was one of the most knowledgeable people in the culture and art of Mexico I have ever experienced. In addition of guiding us through selected rooms of thousands of pieces of art, from furniture to figures, to mosaics to paintings, from the backgrounds of the many languages and people of Mexico, you could also ask about any piece of art and he would provide information about the artist, how it became part of the collection, and what the artists intend or the political/cultural significance. You could go back many, many times and it would be like a new experience. I am definitely going back again. I also wanted to visit the cemetery on the other side of this large historic and authentic Yucatán village, but I ran out of time. I plan on staying in the village next time so I can focus on this museum as well as exploring here more.

This is especially good for people who like to pose for pictures or those of us who like to challenge ourselves to like the process. We (the photographer and I) had the entire place to ourselves, so we took a stroll around. I could see that if there were more people, we'd have to be strategic about where to start. It's a good time if you're in Playa and want to spend a little time in a museum.

Once inside we paid at a tiny kiosk then they takes you to the entrance. Once inside the museum you wait in a theatre for your guide collect you and to explain the art and take pictures for you. You will be given special sockets to wear as to not damage the art on the floor. The museum takes the top floor of the building. Amazing what you see through the lens of your camera. The building use to be a cinema and has been converted to a museum, Well worth a visit. The artist use to live in Playa Del Carmen, now lives in Italy. It's hard to explain it's a must see on your bucket list. To see the illusions through the lens of your camera or smartphone. We were there when the museum first opened so we had the whole place to ourselves.

This whole trip bright tears to my eyes. Even now, sitting at home I'm stuck with just how magical this place is. There are many Mayan buildings and they are still excavating and restoring. They are just amazing. We got to hug a Tree of Life Tree. We got to see wild orchids. There were two dogs that apparently live there and seem happy and not wild.

Instead, we had a tour that lasted about 1 hour followed by time on our own to revisit or explore parts that we did not stop at during the tour.

I would suggest any and everyone traveling close to Yucatán visit this site. Our visit to Cenote was the first stop of a bus tour. We were greeted by a shaman who blessed and prayed over our entire group. We purchased a few souvenirs and then dined on some amazing food at the outdoor restaurant and enjoyed a little show while we ate. We then walked the grounds to explore and learn more about the Mayans. The Cenote was truly an astonishing sight. While I didn't get to take a dip in the water, just standing inside this amazing wonder was super breathtaking! I've seen pictures of cenotes, but never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would be standing inside of one. After visiting the cenote, we headed over to the tequila tasting! Literally each and every tequila we tasted was smooth and quite delicious! I ended up purchasing four bottles of flavored tequila, which I cannot wait to share with my friends back in the states.

I believe Chichen Itza is a one of the new seven wonders of the world because it's among the best-preserved and largest archaeological sites in the world. It's also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I'm still glad I got the opportunity to visit Chichen Itza. So much history! The culture of the Mayans; their way of life, the ingenuity and the science are fascinating and amazing. Be prepared to experience some tropical heat. I recommend going as early as you can to avoid crowds and the heat. It gets hot under the glaring Sun. There is no shade around the main Pyramid. A good guide or a tour company also is very helpful. I found the history provided by our tour company to be very inspiring, insightful and interesting, yet sad at the same time. "As one of the most important city-states in pre-Hispanic America, Chichen Itza is one of the most visited archaeological sites in Mexico today. Chichen Itza, one of the New 7 Wonders of The World according to UNESCO, since July 7th, 2007" - https://www.chichenitza.com/ Pre-Hispanic City of Chichen-Itza "This sacred site was one of the greatest Mayan centres of the Yucatán peninsula. Throughout its nearly 1,000-year history, different peoples have left their mark on the city. The Maya and Toltec vision of the world and the universe is revealed in their stone monuments and artistic works. The fusion of Mayan construction techniques with new elements from central Mexico make Chichen-Itza one of the most important examples of the Mayan-Toltec civilization in Yucatán. Several buildings have survived, such as the Warriors' Temple, El Castillo and the circular observatory known as El Caracol." - https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/483/ I had no expectations when I came here, since I hardly knew anything about Chichen Itza. I didn't expect to thoroughly enjoy and love this trip as much as I did. I highly recommend visiting Chichen-Itza if you get the opportunity.
