What's the best time to go to Chichen Itza?

The best time to visit Chichen Itza is between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM.

Reasons

Chichen Itza opens its doors at 8:00 AM, and arriving early offers several advantages that will make your visit more pleasant:

  • Heat: The morning is cool, and the heat isn't as strong, which is a major benefit.
  • Crowds: If you arrive very early, the number of people is minimal. The crowds from the Riviera Maya (Cancun, Playa del Carmen, or Tulum) begin to arrive around 11:00 AM and continue to stream in until about 4:00 PM.
  • Photos: With fewer people around, your photos will be cleaner, without so many people in the background.
  • Experience: Vendors selling souvenirs set up their stalls every day. If you arrive early, they will just be starting to arrive, and your experience with the archaeological site will be more intimate.

To get to Chichen Itza early, you have to pay the price of waking up very early, but it is well worth the sacrifice. Chichen Itza is open every day from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
