Mayan Museum of Cancún & San Miguelito
Museo Maya de Cancún
A modern museum of Maya artifacts in the hotel zone; the admission ticket includes the small pyramid of the San Miguelito site in the jungle behind the museum.
The museum opened in 2012, with three galleries displaying about 350 excavated artifacts, including pottery, jade and carvings from sites across the state of Quintana Roo, along with human skeletal remains from the Pleistocene found in a natural cenote. The ticket, about 100 pesos, includes the San Miguelito site, whose main pyramid is about 8 meters high and can be walked on a forest path in 20 minutes. The museum is closed on Mondays, and exhibit labels are mainly in Spanish and English. Get off the R-1 bus at the 16.5 km stop.
