1. Mayan ruins

The Mayan city-state ruins of Chichen Itza were once the largest and most prosperous city-state in the ancient Mayan empire. The ruins are located in the central Yucatan Peninsula. It was built in AD 514.

The main monuments of the city-state are: Thousand Column Square, which once supported a huge dome-shaped roof. You can see how big this building is. The Warrior Temple and the reclining stone statues of the two gods in front of the temple. The 9-story, 30-meter-high stepped pyramid of Kukulkan. There are also the sacred well (limestone vertical cave) and the ancient Mayan astronomical observatory built on a high platform in the shape of a snail, called the "snail platform".

2. Pyramid of the Moon

The Pyramid of the Moon is located next to the Pyramid of the Sun. It is a place to worship the moon god and is a product of the Aztec civilization. The architectural style is the same as the Pyramid of the Sun, and it was built 200 years later than the Pyramid of the Sun. It faces south and is 150 meters long and 120 meters wide. The tower is 46 meters high and has five floors. The stacked stones on the outside are painted with many colorful murals. The wide square in front of the tower can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Be sure to take your time when climbing the pyramid. If you rush, you may become dizzy due to lack of oxygen. The wind is stronger at the top of the pyramid, so it will feel cooler when you go there in the summer.

3. The Ancient City of Durum

The Ancient City of Durum is an important site of the late Mayan culture. It is located in the northeast of the Yukatan Peninsula, a short distance from the famous city of Cancun. The resort is about 130 kilometers away and is located on the cliffs of the Caribbean Sea. It was once a religious city at the end of the Mayan culture in the 14th century. Today, the ruins are well preserved and include more than 60 stone buildings.

But of course the most famous one is the Great Temple of the ancient city of Castillo, which stands on a 12-meter cliff. In addition, the Templo de las Flesco is also intact and becomes the main tourist area.
