1El Castillo
El Castillo, the iconic pyramid of Chichén Itzá, is a testament to Maya ingenuity and dedication to the feathered serpent god Kukulkán. Designed to represent the Maya calendar, it features 365 steps, symbolizing the days of the year, with each of the pyramid’s four sides holding 91 steps.

2Sacred Cenote
The Sacred Cenote is one of Chichén Itzá’s most revered spots, a deep sinkhole believed by the Maya to connect the living world with the underworld and the rain god Chaac. The name Chichén Itzá itself, meaning “at the mouth of the well of the Itzá,” reflects its sacred significance.
