Kukulkan Mayan temple Chichen Itza's Facts:  Chichen Itza is truly a majestic ancient Mayan world city with amazingly beautiful Mayan temples, Maya ruins, and sacred cenotes; this impressive ancient Mayan city is a place you should visit with at least a day to appreciate its cultural richness and natural beauty.  Today, Chichen Itza day-trip tours are sold to many tourists rushed in crowded bus drives from Cancun or Riviera Maya; this is the least desirable way to visit Chichen Itza; unless you want a few visual memories of Maya temples and crowded buffet meals at tour bus stops at mid-day. However, if you wish to discover and explore the amazing eco-wonders and fascinating cultural traditions of the Maya, you should plan to stay at least two days to capture the magical energy of this region; enjoy Hacienda Chichen secrets, cultural gifts and beauty. Yucatan, Mexico Travel Safety Facts: US expats and non-Mexicans as well as local residents find Yucatan to be a safe and friendly place to visit, live, drive, explore and enjoy at any time, all year round. So, come worry-free to a wonderful vacation here at Hacienda Chichen Resort and Yaxkin Spa; we invite you to experience many holistic Maya cultural traditions and enjoy the eco-wonders that await you in Yucatan, Mexico.
