Located in Cancun, the El Rey Ruins are an important Mayan site that offers an opportunity to explore an ancient culture. The site is known for its well-preserved stone buildings and vast archaeological areas, where visitors can stroll through and admire the architectural skills and remains of the ancient Mayan people.
El Rey's name comes from a statue that was considered a symbol of the Mayan king. Visitors can see multi-story stone steps, plazas, and altars, structures that showcase important places in the religious and social life of the Mayans. The site is also rich in flora and fauna, especially lizards, which leisurely shuttle through the site, adding to the viewing pleasure of visitors.
When visiting El Rey Ruins, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes and bring sun protection products, as most of the area is open-air. The site is not far from the center of Cancun and is easily accessible by public transportation or self-driving.

The ruins are a unique history here. This city has a history of thousands of years and belongs to an ancient city culture. Many old city ruins here are submerged by the island. [Scenery] The tropical scenery is very good [Cost-effective] Very cost-effective [Fun] Very interesting
Why do I feel like I'm not going to the same place as others? It's not far from where I live, and I can get there by bus. The ticket is 55, and it says that drones are not allowed. I don't understand it and I don't really understand it. Except for the few Mayan ruins left, the most common thing is lizards. I don't know if they are guardian gods or destroyers.
This is a small Mayan ruins located on Kukulcan Street near the Delfin Hotel. The entrance fee is just a few dollars and gets you in. There are no brochures or maps, just a guy collecting money. There was an elderly man who offered to be our guide for 100 pesos (about 6 dollars) but spoke very hard to understand English, so we just wandered around. There is a small temple and some foundation stones along the street, which are in good repair, but there are some stagnant lakes. The best part was the iguanas, although you shouldn't feed them. Don't expect anything like Chichen Itza - no carvings or ball courts here.
These ruins are in ruins, but they are very meaningful.
