Chichen Itza - the center of an ancient civilization

- The 25-meter high pyramid of Kukulkan, as experts now believe, is nothing more than a calendar.
- Ancient observatory,
- Temple of Warriors,
- Sacred well (almost 50 meters deep).
The Temple of Warriors is crowned with the figure of the Rain God, and the baths are located nearby, but they are all in ruins. By the way, for the Maya, the baths had a mystical meaning, because ancient people believed that entering here they cleanse not only bodies, but souls. You can get here by buses from Merida or Cancun.
