Been to Chichenitza once to see the serpent come down. Clouds messed it up at the very last minute. Would love to go again but not with the current violence in Mexico. The local crafts on sale at the solstice are worth the trip if nothing else.

Cozumel has a small stone temple or two that legend has was an early warning for hurricanes as it supposedly started making a loud sound when the wind got to a certain speed.

Haven't been to Chichenitza in a few years, but elsewhere in Mexico buying local crafts is now a crap shoot. None of the good stuff I use to buy, a lot made in some local Chinese shop. There is a factory on the road from Playa Camen to Tulem, where they do make nice things by hand using modern power machines and the price are right.
