Dzibilchaltún
Just 30 minutes from central Mérida, Dzibilchaltún has somehow managed to stay off the tourist radar. The site boasts a famous structure known the Temple of the Seven Dolls, because seven effigies were found at the pyramid during its excavation. Alongside the ruins is an impressive cenote that was once the site of a Mayan religious cult and is today a popular spot for swimming. The closest major ruin to Mérida, Dzibilchaltún is a great place for those who are dismayed by the crowds at the better known archaeological sites.
