Step Back in Time at El Rey: Cancun's Hidden Mayan Gem

Dive into ancient history without leaving the hotel zone. The El Rey Archeological zone is home to 47 excavated stone structures- including ancient palaces, administrative platforms and a small pyramid temple. This place once thrived as a vital maritime trade and fishing hub between 1300 and 1500 AD. It takes just under an hour to explore the flat, unpaved pathway, making it a perfect quick cultural detour. You will see dozens of friendly, basking iguanas.
