How Do You Visit the Chichen Mayan Ruins in Mexico? 

• It is wise to arrive at Chichen Itza as early as possible, in the morning. With the newly added status of the “New 7 Wonders of the World, Chichen Itza is one of the busiest Mayan ruins in Mexico. It welcomes nearly three million visitors annually, meaning over 8,000 people daily. 
• Because Chichen Itza is not very big, it can take less time to visit. There are few structures outside El Castillo – the famous pyramid you cn see in all images of Chichen Itza. The land surrounding this ruin is mostly flat, and you will find it easy to walk most of the way. 
• Chichen Itza has a different time zone than Playa del Carmen and Cancun. If you visit these Mayan ruins between the last Sunday in October and the first Sunday in April, Chichen Itza will be one hour behind the Cancun time zone. If you plan to get there right at  the opening time, you should leave one hour earlier than you thought. 
• The Piste town is close to the Chichen Itza and is a perfect place to buy sunscreen and water or grab a bite to eat. 
• If you want to buy souvenirs from Chichen Itza, you will be surprised at the sheer number of stalls having Mexican trinkets inside the ruins. You will find many souvenir vendors at Chichen Itza, giving you lots of room to negotiate. 
• The main Chichen Itza pyramid in El Castillo has a lot of vast, open lawn space, which is nice as it helps in making the area less crowded than it is really. This additional space can help you get a better picture of the main Chichen Itza pyramid without so many people inside it. 
• If you want to avoid crowds in Chichen Itza, perhaps avoid visiting there on Sundays. Locals get into Chichen Itza for free on Sundays.
