Chichén Itzá

Explore mysterious Chichén Itzá, the largest and best restored city of the Maya. Many consider this certified World Heritage Site by UNESCO as one of the seven new wonders of the world.

The area is known for its vast history of Mayan civilization. A professionally guided tour will allow you to witness the magnificence of the Kukulkan pyramid, the Temple of the Warriors, the Ball Court, the Observatory and more. Then, visit a beautiful cenote to swim.

The Kukulcan
A 75-foot-high pyramid built in the eleventh century. The structure highlights the Mayan's advanced knowledge of mathematics and the solar system.

Temple of the Warriors
Rising from a step platform east of El Castillo is the Temple of the Warriors. This magnificent structure was built by Toltec conquerors of Yucatán in ca. 950-1000 AD, and houses a large stone altar.

The Ball Court
The Mayans were thought to be great sportsmen and built large courts to play their games. The Ballcourt of Chichén Itzá is 545 feet long, 225 feet wide and is open to the sky. Its unique construction allows a whisper from end to be heard at the other.

The Sacred Cenote
This natural limestone sinkhole provided a steady water source for ancient Mayan people. The opening of the cenote is nearly 200 feet across with vertical sides 60 feet off the water.
