I dislike using terms like an "icon" - but it is one on the Paseo. Well worth the visit even just walking around it

Located in the Palacio Canton on the Paseo Montejo, this museum is a required visit if you are interested in visiting any Maya archeological sites. The exhibits on view here are the best of the best -- and the building they are in is interesting too from an architectural viewpoint.

The museum at Dzibilchaltun is a modern museum with artifacts and explanations covering the Mayan period through colonization. Aside from offering a break from the heat (it is air conditioned) it affords one a chance to learn more of historic progress that the Yucatan experienced. The explanations of the oldest artifacts help give a more complete understanding of the ruins that you will visit.

The museum offers really a lot. You get to know about the history of the cacao-beans, they are grown in the pods, maybe we know now where this technically international word comes from. We also learnt about plants, history of the Mayan people, about beakers where men with moustaches drank from, we were fascinated by a Mayan ceremony and saw an orphan panther, birds, spider monkeys and tasted fluid cacao after the famous recipes. It‘s also a lovely path to walk around under jungle-like greenery. The shop is gorgeous, you can get the most different bars of chocolate. I can only recommend this visit!
