치첸이트사는 북쪽의 비교적 새로운 유적인 신치첸과 남쪽의 오래된 유적인 구치첸으로 나눌 수 있는데, 신치첸에 비해
구치첸이 더 복잡하다. 북쪽에 있는 유명한 피라미드와 주변에 있는 구기장과 신전, 시장 등이 있다. 남쪽에는 대신관의
묘와 수도원, 카라콜이라는 탑 등이 있다.
Try to get as early as possible to avoid crowds, that can make a big difference in your visit. It can be visited in half an hour. Do not miss the restauran Oxtum on your way out!
One of the most interesting and largest Mayan archaeological sites. Better get there early to escape the horde of tourists arriving from Cancun. Hellish heat, but there is some shade. Bring much water
You'll sometimes see guys dressed as Mayan warriors near the entrance of the site. After the pyramid and main landmarks, check out the stone observatory in the back, about a 10m walk from the pyramid.
Incredible place with a lot to see. It is huge and so beautiful. It is pricey, but worth every cent. You can pay part of the entrance with a credit card and $80 pesos need to be in cash.
the moment you walk out of the surrounding forest and lay eyes on "El Castillo" of Chichen-Itza,the sense of wonder, awe, and majesty immediately impacts you.There is an energy that en captivates you
Apart from all the souvenir vendors and the fact you cant approach any of the monuments, it is a beautiful place. But really come early, because from 11am the whole site is packed with tourists.
