Kohunlich Mayan Ruin Expedition

From $ 150
Mayan idol carved in rock

Explore the broad range of architecture, natural beauty and expansive seclusion that sets Kohunlich apart.

With a guide in tow, this tour allows for a more extensive look at the famous, multileveled Mayan ruin best known for its Temple of the Masks. The park-like setting includes a sunken palace, a fortress, a ball court and courtyards. But the main attraction? That would be the masks. Like the 90s film… but thousands of years ago. Climb the pyramid-like temple to get a better view of the unique, 10-ft. high sculpted masks of the Sun God Kinich Ahau that run up and down each side of the stairways.
