Chichen Itza, visit the Mayan Culture
Chichen Itza is one of the most representative city-states of the Mayan culture. It is located in the south of the Mexican Republic, facing the sun and with a beautiful extension of land. This settlement was one of the most important in pre-Hispanic America.
Chichen Itza, a vestige of the Mayan Culture
This beautiful archaeological site is located in the southern region of Mexico, also called Mesoamerica during pre-Hispanic times.
It is worth mentioning that Chichén Itzá belongs to one of the Seven New Wonders of the World. This designation was imposed by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization). Chichén Itzá has held this title for more than fifteen years, obtaining it for the first time on July 7, 2007.
Its meaning in the Mayan language
The meaning of Chichén Itzá is “at the edge of the well where the Water Sages live”. This concept is in Mayan, a language that is still present within the confines of the Yucatan peninsula, both in the state of the same name, as well as in Quintana Roo, Campeche, and even parts of Tabasco.
Millions of visitors arrive
Chichen Itza receives around 2,500,000 tourists a year, and in some years, this number is far exceeded. Fortunately, if you want to witness the grandeur of this archaeological site, you can get there by car, rental car, shuttle, bus, or even as a stop on many tours or guided visits.
