Archaeologists from all over the world consider the Mayan civilization to be the most advanced for its time, and they are credited with the invention of the number zero, one of the most innovative inventions for the mathematical world.

The architectonic buildings of the Chichen Itza complex cover a surface of 15 kilometers. The most outstanding is the temple of the God, Kukulcan, a monumental pyramid featuring four ornamental facades of beautiful relief carved figures. At this building during the equinox of March and September you can observe a natural phenomena when at sundown the shadows and light form the body of an enormous snake or the “Feathered Serpent” descending the stairs of the majestic pyramid.

The Temple of the Warriors, The Observatory, The Sacred Cenote (water well) where countless victims were sacrificed to ancient gods, and The Ball Game with acoustics so great one can hear a whisper at the opposite end, are just a few of the amazing structures of this ancient Mayan metropolis.
