✨A day trip from Cancun, where we honeymooned! The power of Chichen Itza, a World Heritage Site✨

While on our honeymoon in Cancun, we took a day trip to the World Heritage Site of Chichen Itza. A Japanese guide organized a tour exclusively for Japanese people. (I looked online and found that there weren't many options, so I think most of them were from the same agent! (^^)!) El Castillo (the pyramid), a symbol of Mayan civilization, was even more impressive than it appears in photos; it was breathtaking. The vast grounds are home to temples and ball courts, and it was a valuable experience experiencing the lives and beliefs of ancient people. We also enjoyed swimming in a cenote! The stories of Mayan history were fascinating. Although there were many tourists, the area was spacious and not cramped, and walking while listening to the guide's explanations was more moving than just touring ruins. The sun was very strong, so a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water were essential. This is an absolute must-see spot on your trip to Mexico, and will leave you with special honeymoon memories. #ChichenItza #CancunTrip #MexicoTrip #Honeymoon #WorldHeritage #MayanCivilization #YucatanPeninsula #Pyramids #TravelMemorableSpot #Mexico #mexico #cancun #chichenitza #honeymoon #honeymoontrip

El Castillo

My third Wonder of the World: Chichén Itzá My third wonder of the modern world: a Mayan engineering and architecture masterpiece in the wilderness of Yucatan (Mexico). El Castillo is certainly the symbol of Chichen Itza and was built to be a real calendar. During the spring and autumn equinoxes, as the sun goes down and the sun rises, the corners of the pyramid cast a feathered serpent-shaped shadow, Kukulkan; clapping his hands the sound that breaks against the steps (inclined at 45 degrees) reproduces the bird of paradise's own verse and during the ceremonies the Mayan kings made blood flow along the corners of the pyramid to call the god of rain to earth. The sensations that are perceived here are really intense, an energy difficult to explain in words, but I hope that these shots will get you there at least a little. We visited this Mayan site in February and the jungle temperatures are really high. Bring lots of water with you and try to avoid the central hours of the day. Recommended the visit with a Mayan guide, you will fall in love with his words. In the meantime, I hope that my next wonder of the world could be the Taj Mahal, and instead you, which one would you choose? #awesomepic #mexico #couplestrip #historicallandmarks #worldheritage
