Chichén-Itzá

The ball game

ciudad de valladolidAt only 40km/25 miles from Valladolid, this astonishing Mayan-Toltec archaeological site, is a must-see. We’ll arrive at opening time. So, besides having Chichén for your own (before the coast buses arrive), you’ll also avoid the heat.

A multilingual certified guide (+- 1 1/2hrs) will explain you about the Itzáes, the ancient inhabitants of Chichén Itzá, their impressive 30m/98 feet high Castle of Kukulcán (and its solar calendar reflected in it), the largest Ball Court in Mesoamerica and the Temple of the Warriors.

The observatory

Not a telescope, but the windows in the Caracol point in the cardinal and subcardinal directions and are believed to enable the tracking of the movement of Venus, the Pleiades, the sun and the moon and other celestial events.

Nunnery Palace
