| The Mayan Ruins of the Costa Maya
If you like Mayan ruins, the Costa Maya has some of the best.
The ruins of Kohunlich and Dzibanche are a couple real gems. Completely surrounded by the lush foliage of the tropical jungle these time worn ruins have a mystical quality that is enhanced by a lack of tourists, who seldom venture this far south. For that reason they are frequented by all manner of tropical wildlife and exotic birds. On any given day, it's not unusual to find yourself alone to wander the maze of paths that lead to the different plazas. Also in the nearby are the ruins of Chakanbakan and Oxtankah located on the shores of Chetumal Bay; and Chacchoben located off highway 307 north of Bacalar near Limones village on the road from Chetumal to Majahual.
And in the neighboring state of Campeche there are quite a few more archaeological sites including; Xpuhil, Chicanna, Becan, Rio Bec, Hormiguero and Calakmul.
