Are you looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life or work? A visit to the famous cenotes of the Yucatan peninsula<\/strong> could be one of the best decisions. Mexico is known for some of the most popular tourist attractions, including the Mayan ruins and the cenotes.<\/p>\n

The Mayan Ruins include the likes of Chichen Itza<\/strong>, located in Eastern Yucatan State in Mexico. It was a Mayan city during the Pre Columbian period that dates back to about 400 AD. It is one of the seven wonders of the world. You can get to it by bus or car, private or hired. It should take two hours from Tulum and two and a half hours from Cancun to get to the ruins.<\/p>\n

Another famous Mayan ruin is the Coba Archeological site<\/strong> located 47 Km away from Tulum. It is an ancient Mayan ruin that dates between 50 BC to 100 AD and it is situated between Lake Coba and Lake Macanxoc.<\/p>\n

Now, apart from the ruins, are the cenotes<\/strong>. The cenotes, in a way, have the Mayan belief system tied to them as they were considered sacred wells where religious ceremonies were carried out. The Yucatan Peninsula is well endowed as there are nearly ten thousand known cenotes in this region alone.<\/p>\n
