History:

Chichen Itza which means "at the mouth of the well of Itza", is the 2nd most visited archeological site of Mexico today. The Kukulkan Pyramid in Chichen-Itza which is known as "El Castillo" (the castle), is one of the new seven wonders of elected.

It is exactly 24 meter high considering the upper platform. Apart from the Kukulkan Pyramid, in Chichen Itza there many other archaeological sites to visit, all carrying traces from Mayan Culture in many ways.

The hard working people who still inhabit the Yucatan Peninsula have quite a few testaments left to their once awesome civilization. Of these, Chichen Itza is as good as it gets. Many people avoid the crowded ruins of Chichen Itza, and there is reason for that. But if you visit the ruins the right way, you will avoid being roasted at high noon like a slow-roasted pork and have a memorable experience.
