Discover the Great Mayan Temples in the Yucatan
One of the most famous of the Maya archeological sites in Mexico, Chichén Itzá draws in crowds for tours of one of the seven wonders of the modern world. Located just two hours inland from The Fives Downtown, this thousand-year-old sacred site is a magnificent display of Mayan culture and the ceremonial center of the Yucatán. Comprised of stepped pyramids, stone structures, temples, and columned arcades, the Mayan ruins showcase this sophisticated urban center that thrived from 600 to 1200 A.D. Explore the Temple of Kukulkan (El Castillo), visit the largest known ball court, and see the nightly sound-and-light shows that illuminate the buildings' sophisticated geometry. Now a World Heritage site, Chichén Itzá offers a fantastic glimpse into an ancient, pre-Hispanic civilization that is not to be missed.
