Chichen Itza Tour
Location: State of Yucatan, 120 Km east of Merida. 205 Km west of Cancun.
History: Many years ago, a group of warriors called the Itza, conquered a city in what is today part of the Yucatan in Mexico. They called it Chichen Itza, which means place of the "mouth of the well of the Itza".
The area around Chichen Itza had a least two such wells called cenotes, the most famous being the Cenote of Sacrifice. The Mayas who lived in Chichen Itza built many palaces, temples, and monuments.
They not only were powerful warriors but also wise men who studied the stars and left a written record of their history in the form of carved glyphs.
Many kings governed Chichen Itza and gave orders to construct higher and higher buildings. As the Mayas were great artists, they painted them with many colors and decorated them with beautiful sculptures. In many of the Chichen Itza buildings you can see a feathered snake. It was its main god named Kukulcan. 
One day, the Mayas of Chichen Itza decided to leave their city. Archaeologists do not know why but they left and the city remained silent in the middle of the Yucatan jungle...
