I graded Palenque higher than Chichen Itza in a few categories, but the only problem is that Palenque is so difficult to get to. My number 1 is still at least in your top 10 :-)

I am however surprised that Comacalco didn’t make the cut whereas Xochicalco (a really, really, really tiny platform) did.

Comacalco is unique because it is the only pyramid in Mexico that is made out of red brick. I have unfortunately not visited it yet, but I might do it this October.

Templo Mayor is sort of a sour-and-sweet experience in my opinion. While archeologists have done a maervlous job in digging beneath the ruins and have found a few secret passageways with interesting things inside, 80% f this structure was destroyed by the Spanish 500 years ago. The mortar of the ruins were used to build the catholic church adorning the adjacent Zocalo square.

I am personally more in favor of Tlatelolco pyramids and the place doesn’t have tourists! Most of the structures are intact and the plaza de las 3 culturas is really surreal because it’s a mixture between ancient Aztec pyramids, Spanish churches, and retro 1970’s apartments. Very interesting and mostly off the radar for most tourists.

I’m especially intrigued by the photo of the painting in Bonampak. And I’ve been meaning to visit Chacchoben in the southern Yucatan, as I’m a frequent visitor to Xcalak, a small beach town nearby.
Worth noting: there’s no public transit or collectivos to get to Ek Balam, so you need to haggle a taxi or rent a car to get there.
