Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Not only is the Pyramid Kukulkan Chichen Itza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is also one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Located in the Maya ruins of Chichen Itza, it is an example of mathematical genius. The 365 steps to the temple at the top represent the days of the year, and the nine stages of the pyramid represent the Mayan calendar year, which is 18 months. It is situated at precise angles to create the illusion of Kukulan, a god in the form of a feathered serpent, returning to earth on the vernal and autumnal equinoxes. Visitors can watch the brilliant phenomenon artificially recreated each night in a sound and light show.
