Tenam Archaeological Park is an exceptional destination for history enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. The park is well-preserved, allowing you to truly appreciate the grandeur of this ancient site. One of the highlights is that it tends to have very few visitors, so you can explore the remarkable pyramids and other structures without the crowds that often accompany more popular tourist spots.
The pyramids themselves are awe-inspiring, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past. The park's layout is easy to navigate, and the staff are friendly , enhancing the overall experience. Additionally, the entrance fee is 75 pesos. When you're ready to return to Comitan, the staff can conveniently call a collectivo for you, making your visit hassle-free.

The site is laid out for any easy walking tour and was virtually empty. We had the place to ourselves for half our time and one other couple came through as we were heading out. Easy walk to get too, fair amount of steps in the structures themselves (tall and narrow steps). Parking lot and visitor center have bathrooms and a...
