Lately I’ve been asked a lot of questions about logistics, that is, the getting to and from the Placido Domingo concert on Oct. 4 at Chichen Itza.

The concert Web site doesn’t seem to offer a lot of help, but boy is it loud. Nor does the State of Yucatan, the state’s tourism office, or Cultur (the agency in charge of cultural events). Placido Domingo’s Web site offers no help.

There is one site that, although not affiliated with any of the above, seemed to have the straight dope. I can’t vouch for it, and don’t know where it got its information, but it sounds correct. According to Mexico Premiere, concert attendees can park in one of five parking areas: the parking lot at the Archeological Zone, the Hotel Mayaland (next door to the archaeological zone), the old airport (across the highway from the archaeological zone, about 1/2 kilometer from the entrance, and two locations in Piste, up to 5 kilometers from archaeological zone. Shuttle buses will be available for those locations that require them.

The Web site doesn’t say if there is a charge for parking. The Hotel Mayaland, for example, normally charges people who are not staying at the resort to park in its lot.

Amenities once you get inside the archaeological zone include bathrooms, paramedics, strategic directional signs, assistance for those with disabilities, ushers, section assistants, sale of soft drinks, public telephones, and security.

Again, I can’t vouch for this information, but it sounds correct.
