Chichén Itzá
3 hours
Etymologically, Chi-ch'en Itzá means "the city on the edge of the Well of the Itzáes". It is located 115 kilometers from the city of Mérida, Yucatán, taking highway No. 180 towards the town of Piste, which is 2 kilometers the archaeological site. The Chichen Itza archaeological site is famous worldwide for the play of light and shadow that occurs at each equinox on the steps of the pyramidal base known as El Castillo. In this, the sun, as it rises above the horizon, illuminates the western alfarda of the plinth, creating triangles of light and shadow that seem to descend to the serpent's head in the parade of the alfarda.
