Chichén Itzá

Chichén Itzá, the most famous of all Mayan archeological sites, is a vast Maya ruin dating from 600 to 900 AD.

Twice a year, on the Equinoxes, light and shadow create an effect that make it appear as if the Feathered Serpent is descending down the stairway of the grand pyramid. Each spring, thousands of people from all over the globe come to witness this event. After a millennium of existence, this pyramid still functions as a highly reliable way to pinpoint the changes of the seasons.
