Maya Train between Cancun + Chichen Itza
Train Details
The Maya Train connects Cancún International Airport with Chichen Itza in a 2-hour and 14-minute route. This modern train crosses the Yucatan Peninsula, offering a comfortable journey as you approach one of the wonders of the world.
Once in Chichen Itza, you'll have 7 hours of free time to explore this impressive archaeological site at your own page, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.
What to See at Chichen Itza?
In the heart of Chichén Itzá stands the Temple of Kukulcan, also known as El Castillo, a 30-metre-high (98 ft) structure that reflects the advanced architectural and astronomical knowledge of the Maya. Did you know that its design is based on the solar calendar?
A few steps away, you'll find The Ball Game, the largest in Mesoamerica. Its dimensions will impress you, but the most surprising thing is its acoustics: a whisper at one end of the court can be heard clearly at the other!
Don't miss the Temple of the Warriors, a majestic group of columns sculpted with figures of Toltec warriors, or The Thousand Columns Group. Want to discover more about the advanced knowledge of the Maya? Then, the El Caracol Observatory will enchant you. Its circular structure and its openings perfectly aligned with the stars demonstrate the impressive precision with which this civilisation studied the sky.
You can also visit the Sacred Cenote, a natural well 60 metres (196 ft) in diameter that played a crucial role in the ritual life of the Mayas. Here offerings were made to the gods, and objects of jade, gold and even human remains have been found in its depths, confirming its importance in Mayan culture.
To make the most of your visit, we recommend booking your ticket to Chichen Itza in advance, as well as a guided tour of Chichen Itza or a private tour if you'd prefer to discover the site with a guide just for you.
