Chichen Itza is one of the world’s 7 wonders, and it is a pretty incredible site. However, compared to Tulum and Coba, Chichen Itza is very touristy which really detracts from the enjoyment of the site. All around each ruin are stalls with people trying to sell you souvenirs - the constant harassment in such a sacred site ruined the affect Chichen Itza was suppose to have on me. The main attraction – Pyramid of Kukulcan or El Castillo is very impressive. All in all, I would say that Chichen Itza is worth a
visit for the grandeur and complexity of the history, but do make time for the smaller sites of Tulum and Coba which offer different experiences.
