Chichen Itza... Kulkukan










Chichen Itza is one of the largest Mayan ruin cites of the Yucatan Peninsula and it's translation is "Magicians of Water" as there were many sources of water under the ruins and from natural cenotes.  This large site had many areas of worship and more.   This temple has several steps that once could be climbed by tourists, until someone fell to their death.  We just enjoyed seeing it from the ground. 

Chichen Itza was a highlight of our trip and well worth the cost, the heat and the bugs.  We learned a huge amount about the Mayan culture and history.
