Chichen Itza is the largest ancient city ruins of the Maya Classic period, located on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Within the vast jungle, there are numerous ruins such as the Temple of the Warriors and the Observatory. Among them, the Castillo (Spanish for 'castle') stands majestically in the center, a grand pyramid approximately 24 meters high with nine levels. Including the temple at the top, the total number of steps on its four sides is 365, representing the Maya calendar year. The Castillo is famous for the descent of Kukulkan, a phenomenon that occurs on the spring and autumn equinoxes. Kukulkan is an agricultural god depicted as a feathered serpent. As the sun sets in the west, the shadow of the pyramid forms the body of the serpent on the side wall of the steps, merging with the serpent head statue at the base of the steps to create the appearance of a giant serpent. Additionally, during the summer and winter solstices, one side of the pyramid is evenly divided into light and shadow by the sun's rays.

Teotihuacan is an ancient city in Mexico that flourished from around 100 BC. It is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The "Pyramid of the Sun" and "Pyramid of the Moon" are famous, and you can actually climb them. In fact, Teotihuacan is easy to access from Mexico City! Here's how to get to Teotihuacan from Mexico City. There is a direct bus from the bus terminal "Terminal del Norte" and you will arrive in about 1 to 1.5 hours! There are tours, but it is much more economical to go on your own. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Teotihuacan Ruins 𖥣 Pirámide del Sol, 54273 Teotihuacán de Arista, Méx. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #overseastraveltrip #teotihuacanruins #mexicotrip #ancientruins
