Itinerary
Chichen Itza is the most famous of all late Maya cities and a holy place to the Maya for centuries. The earliest buildings date from 600 A.D. and are classic Maya. Those built from the 10th Century on, include Toltec symbols, the result of a Toltec invasion in 950 A.D. This merging of Maya and Toltec architectural styles is unique to Chichen Itza.
You will be accompanied by a certified guide, who will introduce you to the secrets of the Maya through the Mayaland´s private entrance, with a cold bottle of water for your visit.
