Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Dominating Chichen Itza is the instantly recognizable Temple of Kukulcan, which is the Mayan name for Quetzacoatl, and also known as El Castillo. The stepped pyramid has a staircase on each side and at sunrise and sunset during both the Spring and Autumn equinoxes visitors gather from all over the world to observe an unprecedented archaeo-astronomical phenomenon not to be missed. The corner of the pyramid casts a shadow of a plumed serpent – Kukulcan- and as the sun moves, the shadow of the serpent slithers down the side of the pyramid to fertilize the earth. Be sure to arrive early as Chichen Itza becomes packed for this remarkable event |
