Tourist passes
Both Cancún Go City passes include the full-day Chichén Itzá trip with transport and lunch, which Go City values at up to $143. They're sold by the day, from $189 for 2 days, so the trip covers much of the price, and filling your other day with something like the jungle speedboat tour is how you get towards Go City's claimed saving of up to 50%. You'll still pay the site's entrance fee on the day.
