What's the most beautiful / interesting thing about Chichen Itza?

Without a doubt, the most beautiful/interesting thing about Chichen Itza is the Pyramid of Kukulkan, which is in the center of the archaeological site.

This pyramid is considered a modern wonder of the world, on par with other wonders like the Great Wall of China, the Eiffel Tower, or the pyramids of Egypt

Other Structures

However, within the Chichen Itza archaeological site, there are other very interesting buildings. For example:

  • The Great Ball Court
  • The Temple of the Warriors
  • The Temple of the Thousand Column
  • The Observatory (El Caracol)
  • The Tzompantli (Wall of Skulls)
  • The Nunnery Complex
  • The Sacred Cenote

These are the main buildings, but there are also secondary structures that hold many details and stories. This is why a guide is an important part of the experience they will make the place come alive, allowing you to let your imagination soar and giving you a more concrete idea of Chichen Itza's importance in Mayan civilization

Conclusions

The main pyramid, also known as "El Castillo" is a magical place for several reasons:

  • Its asymmetry, construction methods, and architectural style are unique and impressive
  • It's located in an open area, which allows you to observe it without obstructions or trees, making it a very photogenic spot.
  • The north, south, east, and west geographical alignment demonstrates the great knowledge of Mayan architects.
  • According to theories, it also served as a calendar due to the number of steps. If you count them all, they add up to 365, the number of days in a year.
  • The acoustics of the site are another impressive feature. If you clap in a specific area, you can hear the echo from the top of the pyramid, and it will resonate back.

For all these reasons and more, the most beautiful and interesting place to visit in Chichen Itza is the Pyramid of Kukulkan
