Mornings on weekdays avoid crowds and the midday heat, especially between 9 and 11am. Late afternoon light favors photos in the garden and near the cenote.

About
快速信息: Glass cases hold more than 300 Maya artifacts, from jade masks to finely painted ceramics, giving a surprisingly intimate look at everyday life and elite ritual. Palm-shaded ruins sit next to the galleries so you can move from climate-controlled exhibits to sun-warmed stone and hear gulls and waves while reading bilingual labels.
亮点: A raised glass walkway lets visitors hover above original foundations so you can view a 3-meter-deep trench and carved limestone platforms from eye level. Archaeologists catalogued a single burial with three jade pendants and dozens of shell beads, the close-up display preserves faint red pigment and weathered tool marks under soft LED lighting.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, galleries and the cenote area have uneven paths.
- Bring a light layer for air-conditioned rooms and cooler breezes in the garden.
- Photographs without flash are usually allowed; the upper terrace and cenote edge offer the best compositions.
- Arrive at opening to beat school groups and tour buses that usually show up mid-morning.
