It’s among those ancient ruins in Mexico worth visiting too. Chichen Itza Ruins is among the “New Seven Wonders of the World” and is UNESCO’s World Heritage Site. It has been well-restored for ages and is also among Yucatan Maya archaeological spots.
It’s very unique comprising 2 different architectural regions- central zone that shows the fusion of highland central Mexican styles and Puuc architectural. It was done in 10th century in response to the entry of Toltecs. The southern zone from the 7th century only shows the conventional Puuc Maya style of the Yucatan area. It’s the Chichen Itza’s original structure.
There are 25 huge meter stone representation of the Maya calendar, the spectacular El Castillo and temples among other platforms including the Juego de Pelota on the interesting region of Chichen Itza, the central zone. On the doorway are carvings of Toltec soldier while if you want to know of Chichen Itza, local guides at the site will tell you and even take you to a cenote. The Cenote Sagrado at Chichen Itza may have been sued for official purposes by the ancient Maya administration.
A huge crowd of sight seers normally accumulate over the autumn and spring equinoxes each year to watch the sun. It forms a fantasy of a serpent descending or ascending the steps of the Pyramid of Kukulkan and is replicated again at night by the light and sound show which takes place at the archaeological site.
