Chichen Itza Mayan Ruins

4.6/5
Meander through the extraordinarily well-preserved ruins at Chichen Itza, a sacred site that was one of the great Mayan centers on the Yucatan peninsula for centuries. After departing from the pier, you will settle in for an immensely scenic drive on to Chichen Itza. Now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Chichen Itza had enormous importance as a religious, ceremonial, and astronomical center, and excavations have unearthed several significant structures. You´ll be provided with a tablet so you can live the Mayan Ruins through the uses of virtual and augmented technology allowing you to better understand the history of Mayan Civilization. Be transported to the past and witness how the Mayan temples looked like centuries ago full of colors and vividness. The most iconic is the pyramid-like Temple of Kulkulcan, which has 365 steps, one for each day of the year. Its architecture is Mayan but heavily influenced by the Toltec warriors who migrated to the Yucatan in the 10th century. The pyramid is oriented to mark the solstices and equinoxes, as the Mayans were skilled astronomers. While meandering about the excavated grounds of Chichen Itza, you will also see the largest ancient ball court in the Americas. The acoustics are amazing even by today’s standards, as a whisper at one end can be heard at the other end, more than 500 feet away. The Temple of the Warriors is another highlight. Flanked by hundreds of columns with carved figures of Toltec warriors, this massive building was used for ceremonial gathering.
