Excursion to Chichen Itza |
|
|
Take a trip to the Mayan archaeological site of Chichen Itza and climb to the top of El Castillo
| Overview | |
|
Set out on an excursion to Chichen Itza, one of Mexico's best-preserved Mayan sites and discover the fascinating history of this civilization. In the once powerful Maya city of Chichén Itzá stand ancient structures, so brilliantly engineered for acoustics as to carry the softest whisper clearly across their vast stone hallways. Climb to the top of the temple of the feathered serpent god, Kukulkán, and look down on the stunning vista below. Hear spine chilling tales of bloodthirsty rituals of the Itzá warriors, who found honour in mounting the sacrificial altar! Also marvel at the sophistication of the ancient people who left pictographic records of their history; designed monuments in alignment with the planets; and synchronised their crop cycles with the astronomical calendar.
