Chichén Itzá in all its glory ✨ one of the 7 Wonders of the World just a two hour drive from Tulum, Mexico. 🇲🇽🌵 few fun facts about Chichén Itzá: — foundations were just unearthed 6 months ago and found it to be an older civilization than the Mayans. (Possibly the ‘Olmecs’) - it’s built on top of other structures - it has hidden chambers like the pyramids in Egypt. - all of this is built on top of a cenote, where the rain god “Kukulkan” supposedly came from, lived. — if you clap multiple times in the middle of the pyramid, it mimics the sounds of a Mayan bird. (Clapping once does not create the sound. Clapping off center will not create the sound). — the decent of “Kukulkan” can be seen during both equinoxes in the form of a serpant shadow, on the side of the pyramid. 🔖 SAVE THIS POST for your next visit to Mexico! ✨ FOLLOW @maryandreidhicks for more food and travel recommendations! . . . #tulum #tulummexico #tulumbeach #tulumvibes #mexico #mexicotravel #tulumlife #tulumlifestyle #tulumhotels #tulum🌴 #tulumquintanaroo #tulumtravel #mexicovacation #méxico #mexicovibes #mexico🇲🇽 #mexicotrip #vivamexico #travelmexico #chichenitza #chichenitzá #chichénitzá
