Chichen Itza
Archaeological site, Ruins
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most iconic sites out of all of the Mayan ruins, Chichen Itza receives more than 1.5 million visitors each year. Renowned for being one of the largest cities of this ancient time, its name translates to ‘At the mouth of the well of Itza’. Though explorers can spend an entire day gazing and snapping Instagram-worthy pictures of these ruins, there are some structures that stand out above the rest, such as the Kukulcan Pyramid, which, at 24 meters high, was recently voted one of the seven wonders of the world.
