We walked from the main areas near the entrance to the climb and it took us roughly 20 minutes to do that-we took the mayan limo on the way back which was 500 pesos ($12). The climb took about the same (20minutes up) with a brief stop on the way up and we spent about a half hour on top admiring the beautiful view.
