I did not even know there was an overnight at Chichen-Itza. It would have to be like camping I assume. I do not think I would like it, but who knows, we did a day trip there.

Sorry, thought this was an Italian poultry recipe ! Truly, at first glance, I did.

Has anyone gone to Chichen Itza on a tour that spent the night in a local motel so that they had more time to explore the ruins?

I just took a day tour 2-3 years ago. We had a guide that led us around and explained the history. I even had time to climb to the top, which I understand is no longer allowed. Unless you're a real history buff or architect, the day trip is probably more than enough time.

I totally agree I think the day trip is more than sufficient with plenty of time and you can no longer climb this ruin, so even more time to explore.

Just in case any one looking to climb a ruin you Can still climb Coba...what a challenge!!!

Where is Coba? How does it compare to Chichen Itza?

Well actually I am not really exactly sure where it is located. Coba that is. We did it when at Playa Del Carmen same vacation as when we saw Chichen Itza. It is located more in like a forest or jungle area. Has many Mayan ruins to see as well as can climb this ruin.

Chichen Itza is of course more famous and now I believe a seven wonder of the world...but you cannot climb it...

So....Chichen Itza is for looking and saying you have been and Coba for actually climbing....I have many photos but no clue how to put on here....

Try googling it.....we did Chichen Itza and Coba both thru tours via Palace resorts.

I found Chichen Itza amazing ( if you are into ruins) but I enjoyed the challenge of climbing Coba more. I am not too much into Ruins but hubby is...so we saw them all....

Coba is south of Cancun between Xcaret and Chitzen-Itza more on the Xcaret side. It is "in the rough" for the most part and involves a great deal of walking- particularly to get to the Pyramid. One would be better off doing Tulum.

That is it tony, thanks....and yes there is a lot of walking. I did Tulum as well. Hate to say it Coba was my favorite due to the challenge of climbing and I hate heights but I did it. I can also say I saw Chichen-Itza and it was amazing. Tulum also involved lots of walking but not as rough as Coba.
