The Yucatan Peninsula is a vast amount of land that offers a handful of Mayan ruins to tour. Chichen Itza is a large city that was a place of power in the Mayan empire and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. It is even considered to be one of the 7 wonders of the world. Architecture at Chichen Itza is breathtaking but the views and also the Cenotes also take one’s breath away.
Out of all of the architecture at Chichen Itza one of the most amazing pieces is the pyramid Kukulkan which features in most pictures of the city itself. This pyramid climbs up into the sky and features snakes running down the side. While you can no longer climb the El Castillo (The Castle, another name for the pyramid) even when you could, researchers couldn’t discover everything about the temple. It wasn’t until 2016 that researchers discovered that there was a second pyramid inside the first. This came over 80 years after scientists set out to prove its existence.
Architecture in Chichen Itza has been divided into several different groups. Three of them are well-known, The Great North Platform contains the famous El Castillo along with the Temple of Warriors and The Great Ball Court. There is also The Osario Group which contains Osario Pyramid and The Temple of Xtoloc. The last of the famous areas is The Central Group which contains Carcol, Las Monjas, and Akab Dzib.
Imagine swimming in perfectly blue water that goes down for over 80 feet, 85 to be exact. Well that is exactly what Ik Kil Cenote is. The Cenote is a Sacred Well and Ik Kil was used to perform religious ceremonies and offerings were made to the gods there. Each Cenote is a place where the underground rivers of Mexico have caused the land above them to cave in. These are very unique places to swim and experience. Not to mention the waters are usually some of the clearest waters you will ever see.
Another cenote in the area is the Sacred Cenote which has a green water that many find lovely to swim in. Like with Ik Kil, this Cenote played a role in religious ceremonies but also served as a place to make sacrifices to the gods.
