Warriors' Temple
The Temple of the Warriors is located in Chichen Itza, Mexico. It was built according to the temple of Tula, the capital of Toltec. The Mayan style was added to the architectural skills, so it is more magnificent than the original. The entire temple is a stone building on the top of a stepped pyramid with many pillars on which are carved the image of Toltec warriors, which is very beautiful. At the top of the stairs leading to the entrance to the temple there is an altar statue of the Angel Chakmo.Mexico · Tinum

MUSA
MUSAis an art museum with galleries located directly on the seabed, situated in the Caribbean Sea between Cancun, Mexico, and Isla Mujeres. Led by British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, hundreds of life-sized human sculptures have been submerged on the seabed, scattered across underwater exhibition areas of varying depths. The masterpiece "The Silent Evolution" consists of hundreds of statues in various poses, resembling a silent crowd standing on the seabed. There are also interesting works such as a life-sized Volkswagen Beetle, which creates an intriguing contrast with the human statues. A unique feature of the museum is that the statues are made of materials that encourage coral growth. Over time, they have gradually grown coral and attracted schools of fish, effectively evolving into artificial reefs. One of its original purposes was to divert tourists from natural coral reefs, bringing art and marine conservation together. There are flexible ways to view the museum: you can scuba dive to get a close look at the statues, snorkel to overlook their outlines from the surface, or take a glass-bottom boat to view them through the hull, allowing you to see the underwater sculpture collection without even getting into the water. The shallow exhibition areas are suitable for snorkeling and glass-bottom boat viewing, while the deeper areas are the domain of scuba diving enthusiasts. Before you set off, you might want to decide how you would like to experience this underwater art.Mexico · Isla Mujeres

Isla Mujeres
Isla Mujeresis located in the Caribbean Sea northeast of Cancun and is easily accessible by boat from Cancun. Compared to the bustling Cancun, this small Mexican island has a laid-back pace and a quiet atmosphere, making it a popular choice for vacationers looking to escape the crowds. The island's North Beach is known for its fine white sand, rows of palm trees, and calm, clear shallow waters, and is often listed among the top beaches in the Caribbean, making it perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and watching the sunset. The surrounding waters have well-developed coral reefs, and snorkeling and scuba diving have long been the signature activities here. There is also an underwater sculpture museum nearby, where hundreds of statues are placed on the seabed, which you can visit alongside the coral and schools of fish. Visitors looking for a challenge can try deep-sea fishing, and in the summer, there are opportunities to take a boat out to swim with whale sharks.Mexico · Isla Mujeres

The Temple of the Warriors is an important part of the Chichen Itza archaeological site. Built in the 10th century after the Toltec civilization's invasion of Mexico, this pyramid temple served as the religious and ruling center of the ancient Mayan city of Chichen Itza. Its architecture is a step pyramid, with a feathered serpent statue guarding the entrance, and the roof supported by pillars sculpted into warrior figures, reflecting the Toltecs' integration of military elements into religious architecture. The temple's worship of the feathered serpent through human sacrifice reflects the Toltecs' religious strategy of strengthening their rule through divine authority, and its architectural style and belief system had a profound influence on the later Aztec civilization.

They only take Mexican pesos and we exchanged currency at a shop across the street. It was interesting to see the history of Mayan culture and walk to a small temple inside the museum. The only downside was that most of the information boards were in Spanish but we were able to understand most of it. Well worth the visit.

The Underwater Museum in Cancun is about 10 meters below the sea surface. There are many mysterious statues and car remains on the seabed. These are the remains of people who sank to the bottom of the sea at that time. Now the surface is covered with thick seaweed, which has become a very famous underwater ruins. Every year, many diving enthusiasts come to explore it. It is a very popular attraction in Cancun.
