Chichen Itza is a must see place while in Mexico. I felt privileged to be able to visit the site that I was familiar with from the History channel and PBS. Who hasn't heard of the famous Mayan calendar? The Maya civilization is renowned for this exceptionally accurate calendar and for its exceptional astronomers. For us it was a 3... More

We went to Chichen Itza with Olympus Tours from Riveria Maya. It took about 2.5 hours to get there - and it was a long long ride. But when we arrived there, it was all worth it. IT was amazing. It was very very hot to walk around in the weather - and there is not a lot of shade.... More

Very fascinating Mayan structures. The Kukulcan pyramid is considered one of the new 7 wonders of the world. The observatory structure is outstanding!

There is not enough space to talk to the history, culture and beauty of this site, and so best to research... More

See, learn, think and try to understand... Be there before the coach tours come to avoid crowds. Take your time and let your imagination fill the place with the missing elements, particularly the people that used to live there...

If you want to feel how people live in thousands of years ago, you must visit it. Go through a package tour which will cover your travel with AC bus, lunch in very good traditional restaurant, stop over for a visit in any cenote (a must visit area) and entrance fee to Chichen Itza. The guide will take you through... More
