El Castillo
Easily the most famous landmark in Chichen Itza. El Castillo, also known as the Pyramid of Kukulkan, was built to honor the snake deity Kukulkan. Its impressive and imposing architecture also reveals a lot about Mayan civilization, which you'll learn as you admire the striking structure. Note: The tour is over 1.5 miles long per tour, with more than 20 audio stories per tour, and takes about 2-3 hours per tour to complete. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.
10 minutes
Tzompantli
Tzompantli literally means skull rack, and it was once exactly what it sounds like. This represents a place where the heads of sacrificial victims were placed following their sacrifice. The platform depicts warriors carrying human heads, skulls, snakes and eagles on all of the walls.
10 minutes
Otherwise known as the Well of Sacrifice, this is one of the most sacred sites in Chichen Itza. This exposed pool of water was believed to house the rain god Chaac, and was thus chosen as a sacrificial site in times of drought and flood.
10 minutes
Temple of the Warriors
Much like an expensive wedding cake, the Temple of Warriors has three thick tiers at the bottom with a small temple on top. It also features about 200 columns, each of which sports carvings of Toltec warriors in varying scenes.
10 minutes
El Caracol is one of the more interesting buildings of Chichen Itza. On top of this structure sit the remains of what was once an observatory. From here, the Mayans would watch the stars and try to infer things about the future based on the movement of the planets.
10 minutes
Las Monjas
The Nunnery, or Las Monjas, is one of the largest buildings in Chichen Itza. It's also one of the most archaeologically significant, owing to the huge number of texts inscribed into the walls, many of which mention a ruler named Kakupakal.
10 minutes
Valladolid
Your tour of Ek' Balam begins directly adjacent to the parking area for the ruin. Best known for the well-preserved tomb of king Ukit Kan Le'k Tok’, this archaeological site is packed with history and mystery. It's also one of the few places where you can still climb to the top of a pyramid!
