Additional Information Chichen Itza is an ancient city built by the Mayan civilization. The name means "at the mouth of the well of the Itza" referring to the people and their devotion to a massive sacred well (cenote) located within the city boundaries. It is considered one of the New Seven Wonders of the World since 2007. At these ruins, you will be amazed by magnificent temples such as the Kukulcan Pyramid, the Temple of the Columns and the Pok Ta Pok Ball Court. Dominating the center of Chichen Itza is the Kukulkan pyramid commonly known as El Castillo (the castle). The step pyramid was dedicated to Kukulkan (the Mayan name for Quetzalcoatl, the Mesoamerican deity whose name means feathered serpent). It is a square-based pyramid that has stairs going up each of the four sides, leading to Kukulkan’s altar on the top. The building was designed so that at the equinoxes, the rising and setting of the sun casts a shadow in the shape of a plumed serpent that slithers down the northern side of the pyramid to the serpent’s head at the base.
