The order of the itinerary was changed on the day and by the time we got to chichen itza it was 1300 so in the major heat of the day. So it was too hot to really enjoy the site. It would've been better to have done it before the cenote. So maybe got to the cenote and have a late lunch. Perhaps provide a snack to tide people over a packet of crisps or packet of biscuits.
