Chichén Itzá is undoubtedly
the place to visit if you’re stopping by Playa del Carmen.
One of the Yucatán Peninsula’s most prized historical
and cultural site, Chichén Itzá tells of times
gone by when the Maya’s ruled the Mexican Valley. Impressive
ruins, such as the famous pyramid, often referred to as the
castle, el Castillo, don’t offer simply awesome constructions
for one to behold, rather they also offer a challenge, as
climbing to the top is no easy feat. The view from the top
is truly breathtaking and lets one get a gist of what living
here thousands of years ago must have felt like. Get a look
at the dense, green jungle from new heights. Besides the main
pyramid, enjoy numerous other constructions, many of them
partially restored while others are draped with lush vines.
Guided tours are available for those interested in an accurate
historical recount of the area.
