It’s about an hour inland from the beach area but looks like there are lots of smaller type beach hotels at costa maya. I haven’t been to that area but it looks sort of like an Unresort type thing so I thought of you.

THANK YOU!!

I’m not sure there is something quite what OP is describing. Is it even safe to just take a hike to most of these ruins? I can think of one set of ruins I hike to south of Mexico City but it was with a Mexican friend Whose grandpatents lived in that town. I’m not sure I’d want to go wandering through the jungle in Central America or Yucatán in a hike but I guess others are more adventurous. And I admit that my view may be colored by the fact that o really liked the Mexican TV show Bandidos (watch it!!)

There are small resorts or hotels in Costa Rica that are like what OP is describing but no real ruins there.

San Juan is a great city for wandering and tjrre are good hikes but maybe not all walkable from the same place.

I said Belize before and I’d reiterate that as a possibility but would need to take a tour to get inland to the ruins.

Most of the cool ruins are inland. I think tulum is the only one near a beach and it’s not that great.

OP here -thank you. You must be lovely IRL.

What’s wrong with you? Do your own research if you’re going to be so vague and then hostile to everyone responding to you.

OP here again. Huh? I was thanking the poster. Thanking her for taking the time to give useful suggestions. If she’s that kind online, where everyone seemingly jumps in with hostility and preconceptions, she must be lovely IRL.

I might have not explained myself well, but better reading skills would help you.

NP. You must be new to the internet. When someone says “you must be lovely IRL” they mean the exact opposite.

I am actually the person she called lovely and thanked and I did in fact take it as sincere! You’re very welcome OP and good luck with your vacation planning—if you find someplace good, come back and post when you return!
