点评:We drove to Chichenitza by car from Playa del Carmen. As with our recent trip to Tulum we were flagged to the side of the road by people claiming to be associated with the ruins.Not sure what they wanted but our spidey senses told us they were scammers.They were trying to dissuade us from going to the main parking lot claiming it was a long walk and had been been altered. When advised that we experienced a similar scam in Tulum recently they backed off. However 2 more groups of people tried to flag us to the side of the road so we just waved and kept going. It was quite stressful at first and I wish the Mexican government would take action against these scammers.
The ruins are amazing but overrun with vendors.
It was 92 degrees when we visited so only stayed a few hours. We drained our water bottle during the visit. They sell pop on site with junk food but we stuck with water.
The drive is long and boring. We wanted to stop at a cenote nearby but decided to head back to Playa del Carmen due to the heat and long drive ahead of us. We used the toll road for most of the trip back. Otherwise the trip is longer on the free roads due to reduced speeds going through little towns with numerous large topes.
Overall I would recommend taking a tour that involves a lunch and cenote. Leave the driving to the tour bus operators.
翻译:我们从卡门海滩开车前往奇琴伊察。和我们最近去图卢姆一样,有人拦住我们,自称是遗址工作人员。不知道他们想干什么,但我们的直觉告诉我们他们是骗子。他们试图劝阻我们去主停车场,说那里路途遥远,而且停车场已被改造过。当我们告诉他们我们最近在图卢姆也遇到过类似的骗局时,他们就退缩了。然而,又有两拨人试图拦住我们,我们只好挥手示意,继续前行。一开始确实挺让人紧张的,我希望墨西哥政府能对这些骗子采取行动。
遗址很壮观,但到处都是小贩。
我们去的时候气温高达92华氏度(约33摄氏度),所以只待了几个小时。参观期间,我们把水瓶里的水都喝光了。遗址里有卖汽水和垃圾食品的,但我们只喝水。
开车去奇琴伊察的路程很长,也很无聊。我们原本想去附近的天然井 (cenote) 看看,但考虑到天气炎热,而且路途遥远,最终决定返回卡门海滩 (Playa del Carmen)。回程我们大部分时间都走了收费公路。如果走免费公路,由于要经过许多拥有大型岩层的城镇,车速会比较慢,所以路程会更长。
总的来说,我建议参加包含午餐和天然井游览的旅行团。把开车的事交给旅游巴士公司就好。
