Uxmal for me is one of the best place to see Mayan art and architecture, hard to describe in words one has to see it, its unique shape of the Piramide del Adivino with a height of 35m, and a base of 53,5m is majestic

It's worthwhile spending as much time here as you can - take the Cadogan guide, for example, which explains the features of the Nunnery Quadrangle very well indeed. This is not an inexpensive site - you have to pay the Ejido, as well as the INAH entry. Your ticket includes the evening sound-and-light show, which evokes the Mayas' desperate urge... More

A great place without the huge tourism of some of the other comparable spots. We enjoyed it a lot although it was quite a drive.

I loved this ruin as much as any I have been to in Mexico. The pyramids are tall with several that you can still climb.
