Chichen Itza. This sacred site was one of the greatest Mayan centres of the Yucatán peninsula. The Maya were highly skilled at mathematics, astronomy, architecture, pottery, hieroglyph writing and the development of a remarkably accurate calendar. They built massive stone monuments, pyramids, palaces and cities, and many of the ruins still stand today.
Random snapshots around Valladodid,Mexico,the town nearest to Chichen Itza Unesco Heritage Site.
There is a comfortable feeling when staying at small towns. Everything feels more grounded and authentic. Food is cheaper and people are easier to talk to.
Opted to stay at Valladolid town so i can go to Chichen Itza earlier.
Got some good jumpshots because i went early. Valladolid is 40 minutes away from the heritage site. Public van transport (they call it collectivo)to the site and back are available.
