Visiting Chichen Itza from your resort in Cozumel can be too much of a challenge for some. You have to take a ferry or other boat to the mainland and from there find ground transport to Chichen in the interior some 90 minutes away.

If you happen to be one of those who can’t tear yourself away from the sand and surf for a day to see one of the great marvels of ancient Maya civilization, then “Discover Mexico” is for you.

Opening “soon,” Discover Mexico is a theme park you can visit in 90 minutes. Want to see Chichen Itza? You will find a reproduction at Discover Mexico. Like to watch tee-vee? Discover Mexico will be showing award-winning videos about Mexico. Need to buy something for Aunt Edna? Don’t worry, Discover Mexico will have a well stocked gift shop. For more information, visit discovermexico.org (except that in the interests of full disclosure, I couldn’t find anything at the Web site except for a splash page. The full site may not be up yet).
