Chichen Itza

Chichen Itza Trips

This is the largest and most significant ancient Mayan site in Mexico. Chichen Itza served as the political and economic centre of the Mayan civilisation. Its various structures – the Kukulkan pyramid, the temple of Chac Mool, the Hall of the Thousand Pillars and the Playing Field of the Prisoners – can still be seen on Chichen Itza tours today and are demonstrative of an extraordinary commitment to architectural space and composition.

The pyramid itself was the last, and arguably the greatest, of all Mayan temples. The ancient city is the jewel in the crown of the Yucatan Peninsula.
