If possible, I'd recommend going to BOTH Chichen Itza and Tulum. They're both incredibly preserved relics of an ancient civilization, and each has its own unique stories to tell. When you purchase a Mayan Ruins bundle tour, you will receive both tours and even more for half the price.
If you want to save money and don't mind taking extra time, take a bus from Cancun to Playa del Carmen and change buses to get to Tulum. An airport shuttle or a taxi cab will both get you to Tulum. The rate will be higher, but you'll save time and energy.
Tulum is the site of some fantastic and well-preserved Mayan ruins. Unlike the inland sites Chichen Itza and Ek Balam, Tulum was a port city. It's located right on the coast of the Caribbean Sea, and was designed for trade with other nations.
A tour of Tulum takes about one to two hours. But don't let the small size of the site fool you–– there's a TON of historical ground to cover.
