In you trip through Mexico there are many spectacular places far beyond the sun and beach that all tourists look for when they travel to this country. One of these places is in the Yucatan peninsula, specifically in a small municipality called Tinum and which is known worldwide for hosting one of the most important archaeological sites in Mexico, the Chichen Itza, which in 1988 was declared a World Heritage Site and which in 2007 was recognized as one of the New Wonders of the world despite not having the support of UNESCO.
In Chichén Iztá you can see the Kukulcán Pyramid, which they call there "El Castillo", a name given by the Spanish and which right next to it has The Temple of the warriors and the 1000 columns. If you go early I recommend that you also go to see Nohoch Mul, the highest pyramid on the peninsula and which is in the nearby municipality of Coba. Another very nice place is the Planetarium, where you can learn about the history of the Mayans and discover that they were harvesting through the stars.
If you are going to go in hot weather, be patient, light clothes and a cool drink, since you can get pretty overwhelmed with so many people and, above all, with the walks that you are going to stick to, so also take sunscreen and a hat so that you do not get burned. Of course, no matter how hot it is it is totally recommended since it is one of the most beautiful and special places that you will see in your life. Chichén Itzá also has a lot of history, and you will walk there for centuries past while stepping on a lawn with many pebbles, so wear comfortable shoes.
