Chichen Itza, Mayan Wonder of the World


Our plan for visiting this site worked perfectly. We stayed at the Hotel Dolores Alba not two miles away from the ruins and got a very early start. We were the fifth car in line waiting for the gates to open at 8 am. Because of our preplanning we were able to enjoy the ruins practically by ourselves and before the temperatures were uncomfortably hot! It was awesome!







The day before it had rained so everything was so green and fresh. We had a lovely walk around the ruins which we have toured twice before, but it is one of the seven new wonders of the world so we didn't feel we could come to the Yucatan and drive right by without appreciating the Mayan architecture and astronomical knowledge in such beautiful tropical jungle one more time!
