Pictures from our trip to Chichen Itza and Ik Kil Cenote.
We spent hours exploring the ruins at Chichen Itza and were amazed by how large the site actually is. There were so many structures and areas to walk through that it took most of the day to see everything.
After exploring the ruins, we made our way to Ik Kil Cenote. The cenote was beautiful and the perfect place to cool off after walking around in the heat.
Here are some of the photos from our adventure.
One destination that’s definitely on our list is Chichén Itzá. It’s about a 2–3 hour drive from Cancún, which makes it perfect for a full day trip while visiting the area.

I’m especially excited to bring my camera along for this trip. The site is full of fascinating carvings and ancient Mayan symbols, and I’m really looking forward to seeing them up close. I’m sure guides at the site will provide information and translations, but I’m planning to print out a reference sheet beforehand so I can better understand the meanings behind some of the symbols while exploring.
If I find a good guide with more Mayan symbols and translations, I’ll definitely share it here.
As for the cost, this is actually a pretty affordable excursion if you’re driving yourself. At the time we were planning, it looked like it would mainly be gas for the drive, about $1 for parking, and roughly $10 per person for entrance.
Much has happened in the last year and a half of our lives. Most importantly, we welcomed our daughter into the world. Life has changed...
