Chichen Itza, Cenote Hubiku, Lunch and Valladolid Tour

Its name means 'At the Mouth of the Well of Itza' and it is Mexico's most visited archaeological site, a magnificent display of Mayan culture. The highlight of the site is the Kukulkan Pyramid, known as El Castillo. On this tour you can walk around the pyramid, see it from every angle and admire the work that went into the construction of this magnificent pyramid.

The building has been standing since Mayan times and is a fascinating example of Mayan culture. Mesoamerican cultures sometimes built larger pyramids on top of smaller ones, and this is the case at El Castillo, where an excavation uncovered a temple with an elaborate jaguar throne. At sunrise and sunset on the spring and autumn equinoxes, the corner of the pyramid casts the shadow of Kukulkan, a feathered serpent god, creating the illusion of a snake slithering down the north side with the movement of the sun.

Of course, there are natural beauties to be seen at Chichen Itza, such as the Cenote Sagrado, an impressive sinkhole entrance to an underground body of water 60 meters in diameter. Chichen Itza is one of Mexico's most impressive sites and, as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, it's an experience you won't soon forget.
