Best Mayan Ruins

[JRA1708]

Hello,

We will be in Cozumel this coming may sailing on Royal. I booked the Chichen Itza 6 hour mayan excursion through the ship. Now I am having 2nd thoughts because of reading how long it takes to get there. Seems like the travel time is hugely greater than the actual time at the ruins. My goal is to see mayan ruins, but is there anything closer worth going to see? Thanks for any help.

All of the ruins are on the mainland, so ferry ride & travel time will be an issue for all. Tulum ruins are closer and the tour usually includes some time on the beach there, but the ruins are not as impressive. Coba ruins are just about the same travel time as you're seeing for Chichen Itza.
