🇲🇽Chichen Itza - World Heritage Site🔝

🌟🌟 Chichen Itza - one of Mexico's most iconic archaeological sites. Granted World Heritage Site status in 1988 by UNESCO and more recently voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Chichen Itza manages to enthrall even the most experienced traveller. 🚗 The drive to Chichen Itza took about 45 minutes, making it a convenient day trip destination from Valladolid. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the grandeur of the ancient Mayan city. The main pyramid, El Castillo, stood tall and imposing against the azure sky. As we walked through the ruins, we learned about the Mayan calendar, the Ball Court, and the Temple of the Warriors, each more awe-inspiring than the last. 🔝🔝Kukulkan Pyramid: The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the Kukulkan Pyramid, also known as El Castillo. We marveled at its unique architectural design, where during the equinoxes, shadows cast by the sun create the illusion of a descending serpent. It was a breathtaking sight and a testament to the Mayan civilization's advanced knowledge of astronomy. 📍Cenote Ik Kil: After a morning of exploration, we made a refreshing stop at Cenote Ik Kil, a natural sinkhole. Its clear, emerald waters surrounded by lush vegetation were a welcome respite from the Yucatan's heat. We swam in the cenote's depths and appreciated its serene beauty. ✅Local Cuisine: For lunch, we dined at a nearby restaurant, savoring traditional Yucatecan dishes like poc chuc and sopa de lima. The flavors were authentic and delicious, providing a taste of the region's culinary heritage. ↗️Before departing for Merida, we spent some time shopping for handmade crafts and souvenirs from local vendors near Chichen Itza. We picked up intricately carved Mayan figurines and vibrant textiles as mementos of our visit. 🔝🔝Our day trip to Chichen Itza was a captivating adventure filled with history, culture, and natural beauty. The site's ancient marvels, along with the tranquil cenote and delicious cuisine, made it a day we'll cherish forever. If you find yourself traveling through the Yucatan, a visit to Chichen Itza is an absolute must. #trip #mustvisit #Mexico #travelinspiration #tripblazers #summervacation #explore #attraction #yucatan #worldheritage

Lifetime golden experience at Chichen Itza

Chichen Itza is a beautiful place, however the cost to enter the park should be added to the cost that is advertised. After book, $30 US dollar fee to enter the park. The National park itself was too hot. please wear light shirt or something more thin. Chichen Itza as we know is an ancient Maya city in Mexico that was abandoned in the 15th century. Now a UNESCO World Heritage-listed archaeological park, its intact temples, and famous stepped pyramids may be explored during this comprehensive guided tour, which tops off fun-filled history lessons with a visit to the colonial town of Valladolid and a swim in a sacred limestone waterhole. A savory buffet lunch is also included. The lifetime experience was worth during my travel here. like people say ONCE IN A LIFETIME!! #chichenitza #mexico

Mexico a country full of everything. After China definitely my favorite place to go. Amazing food, amazing monument and amazing people. It is definitely a trip worth #mexico #theplacetobe #cancun#oxcaca #deliciousfood #historicallandmarks #worldheritage #unforgettableexperiences #merrychristmas #merrychristmas

My first Mayan experience - Chichen Itza

We stayed at #valladolid for the night and took the Collectivo at 8am to go to #ChichenItza to avoid the crowd from Cancun which usually arrives at 11am. It only took 45 mins and cost us Mex$40/pax. There are lockers for backpacks and luggages. Food from outside are not allowed, security will search your bag to make sure you are have no food in your bags. There are food stores in the Park selling food and beverages at a relatively reasonable price. I have to say my first Mayan civilization experience was very pleasant.

A nice boutique hotel with character @ Valladolid

A nice clean little boutique hotel with character at Valladolid. Just 20 mins walk from the bus station and Central Plaza. The entrance is a bit difficult to find though. The owner and all staff are friendly and helpful. An ideal place to stay for the night if you want to spend less time travelling to Chichen Itza the next morning and to beat the crowd that usually arrives from Cancun at 11ish. We took the van, Collectivo from #valladolid to #chichenitza at 8am and arrived there at 9ish, so had a good 2 hours before it got too crowded.

Chichen Itza: A Stairway to the Maya Calendar

"I hope he's not taking me to the top of the pyramid to appease the gods. Fortunately, the ancient Mayan tribes built Chichen Itza as a calendar rather than like their other pyramids, so I got away with it this time. Although if I misbehave or ask for too many photos, I fear he might opt for the '55-meter deep cenote' option nearby ;) In any case, Chichen Itza gets a thumbs-up for face control! It feels like one of the Seven Wonders of the World is calling, and it's a bit disappointing that they aren't building anything similarly grand nowadays. Or are they? What do you think, which of today's buildings/structures will people consider a wonder of the world in 300 years?"

📍Valladolid, Mexico

Valladolid is super cute, authentic, colorful and located only a couple hours away from Tulum. 🌴 You can easily drive to Chichen Itza from there 🌴 There are multiple cool cenotes located near Valladolid. We visited Cenote Ik Kili and Cenote Oxman (my absolute favorite) 🌴 The food is so good and much cheaper than in Tulum. Hotels are also very cheap compared to the touristy beach area. We stayed at @wayevalladolid and it was 5 times cheaper than our beachfront B&B in Tulum 🙈 Hope to see more authentic Mexican towns during my next visit to this beautiful country 💛

Chichen Itza -just wow!

chichen itza is everything you expect- mind blowing ruins, some restored, from the Mayan civilization. it’s worth paying for a guide to understand the significance of the buildings and the Mayan culture

Mind Blowing !!!

Definitely worth a visit. We stayed in Piste at the nice but inexpensive Hotel Puerto Chichen so we could be on site at opening. We parked in the small ruins car park for 80 pesos. Queues were forming when we arrived at 745 but once the gates opened it felt like we had the ruins to ourselves. Entrance fee was around 480 pesos per person - they take cards and pesos. Note you need to wear a mask to enter the site although no one kept their masks on once inside. We didn’t take a guide but instead used a combination of the helpful displays and the internet to do a self guided tour. We enjoyed the freedom of being able to explore at our own pace. There are also plenty of traders but we found them to be fun and friendly and no hassle. The ruins are spectacular and worth a visit. We spent around 90 mins on site. #chichenitza #mexico #historicplace #ancient #history

Chichen Itza - a Wonder of the World

#gooutside and explore #mexico ❓ Did you know that Chichen Itza is one of the “New 7 Wonders of the World”? ℹ️ One of the main reasons we went to the Yucatan Peninsula, was to visit this place. Chichen Itza is one of the “New 7 Wonders of the World” due to its large concentration of culturally-significant, ancient manmade wonders and is a must see. Chichen Itza was founded by the Maya, an ancient people native to the Yucatan Peninsula built around 600-750 A.D. Today, the site is home to the remnants of many ancient Mayan structures, including the famous and most astonishing Mayan Ruin – the Chichen Itza Pyramid or El Castillo which dominates the landscape. #ìnterestingfacts #learnwithus #travel #chichenitza #mexico #yucatan #pyramid #visitmexico #wondersoftheworld #exploremexico #mayans #mayanruins #mayanculture #passionpassport

Сhichen Itza 🇲🇽🛕

Immerse yourself in the rich history and cultural heritage of Mexico by visiting the impressive ancient ruins of Chichen Itza. Located near Tulum, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to awe-inspiring Mayan structures such as the El Castillo pyramid. Exploring Chichen Itza offers a glimpse into the wonders of a bygone civilization and showcases the remarkable architecture that continues to captivate visitors from around the world.

Bathe in Nature's Oasis: The Jungle Retreat of Tulum

A unique feature of the jungle retreats in Tulum is the alignment with nature, and Villa Vela, with its stunning outdoor bath area surrounded by palms, clearly embodies this uniqueness. Whether you're unwinding after an adventurous day out in the jungle or simply enjoying the luxury amenities of the jungle villa, the bathtub's soothing and serene atmosphere elevates your experience, allowing you to fully immerse in the stunning natural surroundings of Tulum.

Super cheap to play Mayan pyramid! In addition to being a Mayan ruin, Chichen Itza is now a large Mexican handicraft market. Each of the roads leading to various scenic spots is lined up with handicraft stalls, from 1 for a refrigerator, about 30 for a T-shirt or a traditional Mexican dress, to hundreds of pesos. Large tapestries and giant wood carvings are exquisite, and the flowers feel that if you have plenty of time and enough baggage, you can really buy some favorite. and our attractions are different from the compulsory production line. Many of the products here are all written by the owner, and they are seen alongside the sales and creation. Handcrafted unique crafts are still very valuable. Remember to kill the price! There are no restaurants in Chichen Itza. Only the snack pavilions such as ice cream, drinks and potato chips are sold. Considering the number of trips, everyone needs to spend lunch time in the scenic spot. I suggest everyone. Prepare some dry food and enough drinking water to start. After a whole day, I and my brother-in-law have spent about 1,000 pesos per person in Chichen Itza. In fact, the budget can be controlled at around RMB 200. Realizing the Mayan dream cheaply, this program is still very good!

Chichen Itza is the ancient Mayan city site, including the Pyramid of the Feathers, The largest stadium preserved in Mexico, The Temple of the Man with a Beard, the natural well of 23 meters deep, and the Thousand Columns Hall. "It is the site of ancient Mayan culture and Toltic culture." The middle of Chichen Itza is a temple built for the feathers and snakes. The foundation of the pyramid is square, and the four sides rise up the stairs until the temple at the top. In the spring and autumn equinoxes, at sunrise and sunset, the corners of the building cast a serpentine shadow on the steps north of the pyramid and slide down the north as the sun moves. The most shocking story I heard about Chichen Itza is that the ball game is not a sporting event for the Maya, but a religious activity. The two players can only use the elbows, knees and buttocks to hit the rubber ball into the stone circle on the wall of the stadium. It is said that the captain of the victory party will be the sacrifice party, the blood sacrifice god, and the sacrifice is the fresh heart dug out. The heart is dug out and placed in the tray in the hands of Chakmo (Figure 5). Tickets: 254 pesos, you can swipe your card. Opening time: 8:00-17:00 ADO bus from Cancun, about 3 hours, you can also drive.

We are familiar with the Maya Pyramid during the day. It is still parking in the parking lot and paying a parking fee of 30 pesos. Obviously, the car is much more than yesterday, and the parking space is not so good. Time has come to 10 am, although I have been urging myself to avoid the tour group as early as possible, but it is still late. There is no suspense, the Kukulcan Pyramid stands there, but it looks more spectacular than the night! In the square that is still surrounded in the evening, you can walk freely during the day. Although there are a lot of tourists, you can still find a very quiet angle. All you have to do is try to bypass the back of the pyramid. But here is really very dry! This is a place where you have to go to the foreigner to have an umbrella. This is a typical tourist attraction, full of small business hawkers, selling souvenirs. That color caught me all at once. The colored gimmicks are really addictive. I thought there should be a lot of places to sell souvenirs in the back. I was afraid of breaking them all the way, and I never met them again. Especially exquisite and beautiful Mexican straw hat refrigerator stickers, just see it, it is more delicate than other places! And it is not very expensive, remember to bargain.

Chichen Itza, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, no one who has come to the Yucatan Peninsula will miss this place. I have seen a lot of travel tips, shooting Chichen Itza during the day. But the night here is also very beautiful, and there is a fantastic sound and light show, starting at 8 o'clock every night. Today's goal is this show! Because the car rental has been delayed for too long, the time to arrive at Chichen Itza is very late. The parking lot is parked and the parking space is relatively easy to find at night. Rush to the ticket office and ask if the night show has begun? The waiter replied "it is the time." My good fortune is not too late, a ticket 240 pesos. Who knows that just after buying the ticket, the window will be closed. In other words, I was the last guest today! Holding the ticket is arranged to the back of a group of people, only to know that it is the guide, an iphone SE explainer. It takes only 5 minutes from the entrance to the Kukulcan Pyramid in Chichen Itza. This place is smaller than expected. Before the show started, I circled around the Chichen Itza site and it was too comfortable. The night is very cool, the stars are shining, the lights on the ground are bright, and there are many stars. Sound and light show started, full Spanish, 45 minutes. I didn't use the interpreter. I was shooting video all the time. There are not many photos. The following picture is a microcosm.

Looking around for information before discovering Mexico, I found that there are hundreds of Mayan ruins in the Yucatan Peninsula, but the most famous Chichen Itza (United Nations World Cultural Heritage, World New Seven Wonders) is a 3-hour drive from Cancun. Therefore, the asking price for a day trip is around RMB 500. From ADO Station in the Cancun city of Mexico (large transportation hub of ADO Motors), there is a bus that stops only one stop, one bus a day, 08 in the morning.

There are a lot of tourists in Chichen Itza. If you want to be quiet, you should try to get in as early as possible. The scenic area opens at eight o'clock. We didn't ask for guidance in order to "grab the time". Some missteps. After all, the human landscape can't be entered by observation and delusion. The historical culture and legends behind it are actually more interesting than taking pictures. Not to mention the conflict between the two, first suggest that you must ask for a guide. The most photographed above is the Pyramid of Kukulcan (Kukulcan is the Mayan prophecy of the feathers of the gods), which was able to climb to the top earlier, but there have been tourists who fell behind and died. After that, it will not be open, it is a pity, because there are some engravings in the top. Every spring and autumn, there will be a climax of tourists here, because only at this time can you see the magical landscape of light and shadow forming a feather snake walk. If you are interested, you can search online. The timing is wrong, we can't see this spectacle, but all the tour guides will demonstrate the wonderful echo phenomenon in the square facing the feather snake statue - standing in a position and applauding, will be at the pyramid It is very interesting to produce an echo similar to the sound of birds and beasts. Temple of the Warriors, surrounded by numerous stone pillars. Another open space, in fact, is a stadium, or the largest stadium in ancient Central America, 166 meters long and 68 meters wide. In fact, there are hundreds of buildings in the entire Chichen Itza site, and the rest will be waiting for you to explore slowly...
