  1. Literally there are thousands but the two most visited sites are Tulum (QR) and Chichen Itza (YU).

    Ruin Name (STATE)

    btw Palenque is in Chiapas, I don't think most would consider that part of the Yucatan Peninsula

    Edit: For the person who gave me the thumbs down:

    The Yucatán Peninsula, in Southeastern Mexico, separates the Caribbean Sea from the Gulf of Mexico. The peninsula lies east of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, a northwestern geographic partition separating the region of Central America from the rest of North America.

    The peninsula comprises the Mexican states of Yucatán, Campeche, and Quintana Roo; the northern part of the nation of Belize; and Guatemala's northern department of El Petén. Mexican states situated on the isthmus to the west of the peninsula include Chiapas and Tabasco and is directly within the hurricane belt. (In case you missed it "to the west of the peninsula include Chiapas and Tabasco"). I'm guessing that's the reason I was given the thumbs down since by Number of visitors per year Tulum and Chichen Itza are by far the most popular/well know/famous Mayan ruins.
