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. Chichen Itza tours can be booked from just about anywhere in Cancun, Cozumel, and of course online before you travel. Since Chichen Itza Mexico does not have its own airport, travelers coming by plane or cruise ship will likely need to book Chichen Itza tours that leave from nearby Cancun or Cozumel. If you would rather come to Chichen Itza Mexico on your own time, you may also get a rental car. From Cancun, Chichen Itza is about a 2-3 hour drive and drivers should expect to encounter tolls along the way. A good Chichen Itza map will be invaluable for this trip. A Chichen Itza map can be purchased before you travel to Mexico or will be available at various tourist locations in Cancun and Cozumel.
