We are traveling to Progreso on the Voyager in Dec and am wondering if anyone can give us any information on the ruins? The trip offered by the ship takes 5 hours on the bus and it is only 8 1/2 trip so not much time to see the ruins. My husband really wants to climb El Castillo.
Thanks for any help :app:

You'll be rushed, but, just do it!

We had only two hours at the ruins on our trip last year, but, you will not regret the experience.

We did the Chichen Iza trip from Cancun with a group, rather from Progreso, so I have no idea the difference in the bus ride length.

Our bus ride seemed to last at least three weeks, and I got off without a book to read along the way. Our time at the ruins was maybe an hour and a half or so, it was terribly hot and there wasn't any shade. The ruins are incredibly impressive; I can't imagine what it took to accomplish what they did, but no way could I have climbed in that heat.

Then we went to have lunch and rode back. We did stop a few times for rest stops, and were accosted by hordes of people with outstretched hands.
