Very quiet and safe neighborhood. I personally walked everywhere even though most people would suggest a cab. About 25 minutes from city center and 30 minutes on foot to Cahal Pech. Most cabs will charge 5-7 to drop you off in town ($2.50-$3.50) and 7-10 ($3.50-$5.00) to take you back. Tons of wonderful plant life, architecture, history, and people to find while you walk about so make sure to try the trip on foot at least once, it really is a beautiful place.
