Your tour/trivia combo of Chichen Itza begins at the entrance to the archaeological site. Past an ancient wall that once surrounded this place, you’ll see Chichen Itza’s most prized landmark: El Castillo. As you marvel at this huge pyramid, you’ll learn about its significance to the Mayans. Next on your route is the Great Ball Court, where Mayans once played an intense, elaborate game somewhere between soccer and basketball. Then it’s on to the ominous-sounding Wall of Skulls, which once held the heads of sacrificial victims! After that is the Platform of the Eagle and Jaguar Warriors, home to intricate carvings and sculptures full of deep meaning. Then you’ll head toward the Platform of Venus, which once held offerings to the stars. If you’ve ever wanted to know more about the Mayan religion, you’ll learn it here! Next, you’ll arrive at The White Road, one of the largest and most intact ancient roads in the world. This brings you to the Sacred Cenote, where ancient Mayans sacrificed people to appease their rain god. Past that is the Temple of Warriors, a multi-tiered temple with a dark secret hidden inside. Then there’s the Hall of a Thousand Columns and the Ossuary, the final resting place of a High Priest. After that, you’ll continue to the Observatory, a perfect spot for viewing the heavens and learning the significance of the stars in Mayan culture. Finally, you’ll reach the Nunnery and the Church, two of the most-photographed spots in the entire ruin. Your tour and trivia adventure concludes here.
