Mexico - Cancun - Chichen Itza


Cancun, Mexico is more than a spring break destination.  Cancun has much more to offer than Senior Frogs and Party Buses, one can find the history of a the place by taking a good look around.  My wife and took a visit to the ancient city of Chichen Itza.  Chichen Itza which means “at the mouth of the well of Itza “, is the 2nd most visited archeological site of Mexico today. The Kukulkan Pyramid in Chichen-Itza which known as “El Castillo” (the castle), is one of the new seven wonders of the world elected in 07.07.2007. It is exactly 24 m. high considering the upper platform. Apart from the Kukulkan Pyramid, in Chichen Itza there many other archaeological sites to visit, all carrying traces from Mayan Culture in many ways. One of the main reasons that I travel is to become more educated about the history of a place.  I was blown away by Cancun and Chichen Itza.
