The ruins of Chichen Itza are the most visited by tourist in the whole country. They are located in the state of Yucatan bordering the state of Quintana Roo. In order to get there you can take an airplane to the city of Merida which has an international airport, or if you happen to be in Cancun, you can drive or take a bus. If you decide to drive, it will only take you a few hours to get there.

These Mayan ruins are famous worldwide and are now being considered as a strong candidate to become one of the new seven wonders in the world. The reason why people come to Chichen Itza is because it is really a magical place. The time of the year when most people come here is in the spring, especially during the equinox. This is because during this time the reflection of the sun in the stairs of the Kukulcan temple creates a shadow with the form of a snake coming down the stairs. Others come in this time to meditate and absorb energy which they believe abounds during this period of time.

There are different things you can do when you visit this place. Besides walking around looking at the different pyramids and taking pictures, Chichen Itza has a few restaurants where you can try the typical mayan food. I also recommend that you visit the beautiful big “Cenote” (fresh water natural pool) that you can find near the place. Since it is always very hot in this place, you should take light clothes, such as shorts, a t-shirt, and a hat. Once you have toured the place I strongly recommend that you refresh yourself swimming at the ”Cenote”. I guarantee it will be a great experience for you.
