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
