Chichen Itza, Maya archaeological site in Yucatán, Mexico
The Temple of Kukulcán rises 30 meters high with four staircases of 91 steps each, totaling 365 steps including the top platform point.
The settlement evolved from a regional capital in 600 CE to a dominant political center by 1000 CE, controlling trade routes across the Yucatán Peninsula.
The Great Ball Court, measuring 168 meters long, contains stone rings and carved reliefs depicting players participating in ritual games of physical skill.
The archaeological complex opens daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with entrance fees of 614 Mexican pesos for international visitors in 2024.
During spring and autumn equinoxes, sunlight creates a shadow pattern on the pyramid resembling a serpent descending the northern staircase steps.
