Highlights
- Cenote Saamal - Puedes nadar, si lo deseas, en este hermoso cenote sagrado de la Cultura Maya y sumergirte en sus aguas cristalinas y refrescantes. Los cenotes, también conocidos como “ojos de agua”, fueron muy importantes para los mayas, desde el punto de vista ceremonial hasta la supervivencia.
- Chichen Itza - Aquí tendrás un tour guiado por el centro ceremonial maya Chichén Itzá acompañado de uno de nuestros guías certificados, posteriormente tendrás tiempo libre para explorar la ciudad maya por tu cuenta.
- Temple of the Warriors - El Templo de los Guerreros es una de las estructuras más impresionantes e importantes de Chichén Itzá. Puede ser el único edificio maya del Clásico Tardío conocido lo suficientemente grande como para acomodar reuniones verdaderamente grandes.
- El Caracol - El llamado Caracol u Observatorio es una estructura construida en forma de torre circular de mayor tamaño asentada sobre una plataforma con una escalera central. La base se asienta sobre otra plataforma rectangular, decorada con una cornisa con esquinas redondeadas en la parte superior. El Caracol en realidad está construido con tres edificios superpuestos.
- Gran Juego de Pelota - El Juego de Pelota fue más un ritual ceremonial que un deporte y probablemente representó la recreación simbólica del mítico combate entre la noche y el día. Hay un fenómeno acústico único en el juego de pelota: si uno habla en el templo en el extremo sur, la voz se puede escuchar en el extremo opuesto, mientras el sonido reverbera a lo largo de las paredes del templo norte.
- Templo de Kukulkan - El Castillo o Pirámide de Kukulcán es una pirámide de cuatro lados, con un templo rectangular en la parte superior. El fenómeno de la luz y la sombra, digno testimonio del asombroso progreso de los mayas en la arquitectura y la astronomía es el fenómeno de la “luz y la sombra” que tiene lugar en la escalinata norte del Castillo durante el Equinoccio de Primavera donde se puede ver descender una serpiente por las escaleras El sol arroja siete triángulos de luz sobre la balaustrada del lado noreste del Castillo. Estos comienzan a moverse hacia arriba y hacia abajo a lo largo de la balaustrada para formar la silueta de una serpiente que desciende.

RECOMMENDABLE - Majestic Kukulcan, it was a very pleasant day with our guide, explaining every detail to us, and although I already knew Chichen Itza, each visit is unique.

Long but enjoyable from start to finish - We have finally visited the majestic Chichen Itza, the trip was pleasant although a little long, so make sure to bring comfortable clothing both for the round trip and for the archaeological site, fresh clothing, sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat.
