    A really fantastic tour. Chichen Itza was everything we expected and more made all the better by our brilliant guide Tonantzin with plenty of help from Antonio doing the driving. Both really.knowledgable. Ek Balam was also a great experience and gives you a great sense of perspective. All in all an absolutely fantastic experience.

More information

Visit Chichen Itza—once a significant Maya ceremonial centre, and now a destination renowned for its incredible architecture.

History

Chichén Itzá dates back to pre-Columbian times, with origins estimated around the 6th century AD. The city flourished during the Classic period (600-900 AD), becoming an important centre of Maya culture.

Highlights of Chichen Itza

Among the site's main monuments are:

  • The Temple of Kukucán: the site's most iconic structure, and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
  • The Grand Ball Court: largest and best-preserved playing field in Mesoamerica.
  • The Observatory: circular structure used by the Maya to study the stars and planets.

How to get there

To visit the site, we recommend booking a guided excursion from Cancún or Playa del Carmen, both of which are available with Civitatis!
