txtwinmom Posted November 29, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2008 We're going to be there June 09 with our son who is totally enthralled with pyramids! Which would be the best site for us to visit? He has CP but is capable of walking, though his balance is troublesome at times. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdawson Posted November 29, 2008 #2 Share Posted November 29, 2008 In my humble opinion, Uxmal is the very best choice for anyone. Most impressive, prettiest and way less crowded. The pyramid is stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtwinmom Posted November 29, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted November 29, 2008 We went there last year without him obviously, and I had trouble with all the walking. Yes, you can see the first and main temple but to get to everything else you had to climb and go up and down lots of stairs I think we need another choice. Any other ideas?

YucatanToday Posted December 1, 2008 #4 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Most of the ruins do involve quite a bit of walking and climbing. Your best bet might be Dzibilchaltun because it's relatively small, has a cenote for swimming, and a very interesting museum on-site. It's also the closest to Progreso, so less travel time.

fargodakota Posted December 1, 2008 #5 Share Posted December 1, 2008 On our recent visit to Uxmal there was one person using a cane. He could get around to amost everythign except the last stairs upto the level of the Governors palace. He did need a hand getting down some of the stairs, but he did enjoy himself. The Pyramid of the Magician is beautiful and totally different with is oval base. I hope this link works, it is my pictures from 11/10/08. http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=399345495&albumId=1074671 The enterance to the ruins has a ramp along with stairs.
