The ancient Mayan city of Chichén Itzá on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula is spectacular at any time of the year, but especially so during the Spring Equinox. On this day in March, an incredible phenomenon occurs at the magnificent archaeological site. The most recognizable structure in the ruins is the Temple of Kukulkan or El Castillo, a stunning step pyramid that is an ode to the importance of astronomy in Maya and Toltec cultures. Legend has it that the serpent deity Kukulkan, which means “feathered serpent,” established the city. The sacred Pyramid of Kukulkan was believed to be a stairway to heaven which ancient gods used to return to earth. On the day of the equinox, the late afternoon sun creates the amazing illusion of a 10-storey tall serpent slithering down the north face of the pyramid. Visitors gather in large numbers to witness the incredible play of light and shadows at this World Heritage Site that was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Conveniently located close to two international airports, Merida (less than two hours away) and Cancun (about two and a half hours away), Chichén Itzá is undoubtedly one of the must-see destinations in Mexico. We have a range of tours that will allow you to witness the incredible shadow serpent this Spring Equinox. Enjoy a morning tour to the spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Site with round trip transportation from Cancun or Merida. Benefit from the services of a private archaeologist and guide for an in-depth and fascinating early morning tour before the crowds arrive.
