The 7 Wonders Of The World's Timeless Ruin
Chichén Itzá was a large, pre-Columbian city built by the Mayan people. Its ruins are Mexico’s most popular attraction as they offer a glimpse into the period 550 AD when they were created.
As a new Seven Wonder of the World, most tourists come to see the iconic Temple of Kukulkan (also known as El Castillo). However, the site has much more to offer including intricately carved temples and scenic forestry. There’s a lot to explore in Chichén Itzá. As well as the Temple of Kukulkan, there is a Temple of Warriors which is named because of the carved columns depicting warriors that surround the outside.

For an adult, it is approximately $13. On Sundays, it’s free for Mexicans to visit so you should expect it to be a lot busier.
