Chichen Itza (pronounced chee-chehn eet-sah) in the Mayan language, was a revered city of the Itza people, with its name translating to “mouth of the well of the Itza.” Situated 75 miles east of Merida, the capital of Yucatan, Mexico, this archaeological site is considered one of the most significant of the Maya civilization. It spans an area of about six square miles, where hundreds of structures once stood. Today, most are mounds, but over thirty can still be visited by tourists.
