Yucatán Attraction Tickets
Yucatán attraction tickets cover entry to archaeological sites like Chichén Itzá and Uxmal and to cenotes, with or without a guide. This page explains the main ticket types, how e-tickets work, and when a guided tour is a better choice than buying entry alone.
Chichén Itzá tickets
Chichén Itzá is the most visited ruin site in the peninsula. Entry is priced for foreign visitors and is normally a combination of a federal fee and a state fee, and amounts change from time to time.
Opening hours are usually from morning to late afternoon. Confirm current details in your quote. Arriving at opening time gives cooler weather and fewer people.
Yucatán attraction tickets can be arranged alongside tours or on their own. If you are unsure which fits, tell us your plans and we can recommend the most practical option.
Uxmal tickets
Uxmal, south of Mérida, has its own entry fee and a sound-and-light show in the evening on scheduled nights. The site is often quieter than Chichén Itzá.
Check opening hours and show schedules before you plan your day.
Cenote tickets
Cenote entry is set by each cenote or community and varies widely depending on facilities, from a modest fee to a more expensive park-style entry. Lockers, life jackets and showers may be extra.
Some cenotes limit visitors per hour or have set opening times.
Yucatán attraction tickets for cenotes are often bought on the spot, but pre-booking can help for popular cenotes at weekends and holidays.
Tickets vs. guided tours
Entry only suits independent travellers who have their own transport and are happy to explore with an audio guide or signage.
A guided tour adds transport, a guide, and often a cenote or lunch. For first visits and for big sites, many travellers find a guide valuable.
Combining a ticket with a driver is a middle option: you control the visit, but transport is arranged. Many travellers choose this for a second visit to a site, or when they have already read about it.
- Entry only: cheapest, flexible, no transport
- Entry plus guide: context on site
- Full tour: transport, guide, extras
Mexican residents' & INAH discounts
Archaeological sites run by INAH commonly offer reduced rates or free entry for Mexican nationals and residents with valid ID, and certain groups such as children and seniors may qualify for concessions.
Rules and eligible documents change, so confirm in advance. Bring your ID and any required proof.
How e-tickets work
Request a quote, we confirm availability and price, and after payment we send the ticket details by email. You show the QR code or confirmation at the gate.
Keep a copy offline in case of weak signal at the site. Ticket changes and refunds follow the terms stated in your quote.
A few practical reminders: carry photo ID, bring water and a hat, and know that bags and drones may be restricted at archaeological sites. Opening hours and fees can change, so we confirm current details in your quote.
