We finally had a chance to see Chichin Itza. It is approximatly 2 1/2 hours north west of Cancun. Our trip was very comfortable with air conditioning, and stops for the restroom. While on the way we stopped and had a great lunch provided by the tour agency. The trip gave us a chance to see some of the interior of this area, something that is difficult unless we rent a car. Which is something that we are putting off until after our spanish improves!
Chichin Itza is considered to be the most important city of the Mayan people before 1200.
I could go into a several page history lesson, but for times sake I'll just enclose pictures.
