Chichén Itzá is not only amazing on March 21 when Quetzalcoatl descends from the pyramid “El Castillo” during the spring equinox. The sound and light show of Kukulkan Nights is one of the most memorable activities in the Yucatan Peninsula.

In 1988 UNESCO named Chichen Itzá a Cultural Heritage of Humanity. In 2007, thanks to its growing popularity, it was named one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.
