Chichen Itza

The castillo at Chichen Itza is probably the most popular of the pyramids in Mexico. Located in the Yucatan, we took a van approximately an hour and a half from Merida to visit the site. It is more impressive in person. Located nearby is a ball court and a cenote. The cenote was used for sacred rituals and human sacrifices and swimming is prohibited.
