15 minutes here
Tzompantli which means skull rack is otherwise known as the Platform of Skulls. Chichen Itza is home to a Toltec structure where the heads of the sacrificial victims were placed - whew!
10 minutes here
Cenote Ik kil
The Sacred Cenote or Sacred Well is one of the most venerable spots on the Chichen Itza. Otherwise known as the Well of Sacrifice, this spot combines the very essence of Mayan beliefs and fears. The cenotes are bodies of water formed by the limestone plain which covers most of the Yucatán Peninsula. The cenotes manifest themselves as rivers, pools or streams beneath the limestone terrain.
10 minutes here
Temple of the Warriors
Much like an expensive wedding cake, the Temple of Warriors has three, thick tiers at the bottom with a small temple on top. Look at the base of the stairway, there are about 200 columns, each with Toltec warriors placed in varying scenes carved into every side.
10 minutes here
The Ossuary
Between the plazas, platforms and a cenote stands a pyramid that is related to the dynasty of the Lords of Chichen Itza. El Osario- otherwise known as the Ossuary - was given its name due to the numerous human and animal bones found on site. It is also known as the High Priest’s Grave. El Osario is a smaller rendition of El Castillo. It has four staircases and is around 9 meters high. Designs similar to the ones on the Temple of Warriors and on the Venus Platforms are carved into this structure.
10 minutes here
El Caracol
El Caracol is one of the more interesting buildings of Chichen Itza. On top of this structure, you can see the remains of what was originally a cylindrically shaped observatory. The Mayans had a particular love for the heavens for they believed that they could record the will and actions of God if they look closely enough.
10 minutes here
Las Monjas
The imposing structure on your right is Las Monjas or the Nunnery and it is quite possibly one of the largest buildings in Chichen Itza. It has been rebuilt over and over again, therefore it houses more chambers and flats than other structures. A distinctive feature of the Las Monjas complex is the sheer number of texts that almost completely cover the place.

Casa Cenote
Don’t let the beautiful ocean view distract you from this fascinating structure. It consists of two rooms, one of which can be accessed from the entrance. The other room branches out from the western offshoot within the wall’s construction.
10 minutes here
The Temple of the Wind is a one of the most interesting structures. The Temple sits on top of the cliff with its single doorway facing north and overlooking a group of small shrines on the hillside. The round platforms seen here indicate that this is a temple to the Wind God.

The largest structure, featured in Tulum is the 40 feet Pyramid structure of The Castle (El Castillo) which stands on a rocky bluff of the same height. This structure followed the same pattern as of other renowned Mayan architecture with the building being built in multiple phases.

Welcome to the Temple of Frescoes. This two storiedbuilding with its unassuming proportions has tremendous archeological significance. It is the most richly decorated and elaborately painted structure on this site.

Tulum Beach
The ruins are hugged by a rugged coastline featuring a breathtaking view of turquoise waters and sandy beach by the sea. The vista of cliffs on which the ruins stand have a spellbinding effect on the visitors.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mayan Ruins of Mexico Self-Guided Audio Tour Bundle: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Mayan Ruins of Mexico Self-Guided Audio Tour Bundle cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tulum usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mayan Ruins of Mexico Self-Guided Audio Tour Bundle take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tulum is not rushed.
Is Mayan Ruins of Mexico Self-Guided Audio Tour Bundle worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tulum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mayan Ruins of Mexico Self-Guided Audio Tour Bundle?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Mayan Ruins of Mexico Self-Guided Audio Tour Bundle suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Mayan Ruins of Mexico Self-Guided Audio Tour Bundle?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tulum can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tulum and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mayan Ruins of Mexico Self-Guided Audio Tour Bundle start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tulum within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tulum?
+
On Outty we rank every Tulum experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour, Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tulum?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tulum?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
