The Mayans were responsible for building large monuments to carry out numerous rituals and ceremonies and the ruins of these ceremonial monuments are what can be visited and explored today.<\/p>\n<p>The El Rey Ruins are conveniently located close to the <b>BelleVue Beach Paradise<\/b> resort.<\/p>\n<p>The ruins are best enjoyed in the morning hours before the temperature rises. There are often guides hanging out at the ruins, and if you\u2019re keen to learn more of the history, be sure to enlist their services.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8225\" alt=\"BeachParadise_tripcubes2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bluebayresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/BeachParadise_tripcubes2.jpg\" width=\"629\" height=\"350\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><b>Explore Isla Mujeres by Golf Cart<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Board a ferry to travel the short four miles from the mainland to Isla Mujeres.
