Once home to nearly 20,000 inhabitants, Dzibilchaltún means "place where there is writing on the stones" and dates from the mid-Preclassic to the Postclassic period. Visit independently and learn about Mayan culture at the Mayan People Museum, wander the expansive grounds, and cool off in the Xlacah Cenote.
Alternatively, explore Dzibilchaltún as part of a guided excursion and maximize your time in the region without worrying about transportation. Tours typically run from both Progreso Cruise Port and Mérida and often include stops at Progreso and other nearby beaches.
