The Museo Maya de Cancun is a must-visit for anyone interested in Mayan history and archaeology. This state-of-the-art museum features an impressive collection of artifacts, many of which were excavated from important Mayan sites in the Yucatán Peninsula. Exhibits include ancient pottery, jade masks, burial sites, and intricate carvings that tell the story of the Mayan civilization.
One of the highlights of the museum is its outdoor archaeological site, San Miguelito, which allows visitors to explore real Mayan ruins surrounded by lush jungle. This combination of a museum and historical site makes it a unique attraction in Cancun, providing both education and an immersive experience.
The museum is conveniently located in the Hotel Zone and is a great indoor activity for rainy days or when you need a break from the sun. It’s also an excellent alternative for those who can’t make the trip to Chichén Itzá but still want to experience the region’s rich cultural heritage.
