Chichen Itza

Chichen Itza was a major focal point of the Mayans in the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico from the Late Classic (c. AD 600–900) through
the Terminal Classic (c. AD 800–900) and into the early portion of the Postclassic period (c. AD 900–1200).

The site exhibits a multitude of architectural styles,
The town of Chichen-Itza was established close to two natural cavities (cenotes or chenes),
which gave the town its name "At the edge of the well of the Itzaes".
Chichen Itza was one of the largest Maya cities.

Chichen Itza was the most crowded of all the ruins that I visited in Central America in April-May 2019.









Our guide at chichen Itza had some photos of the site in the late 1930s
