• El Castillo - Also known as the Temple of Kukulcán, El Castillo is a Mesoamerican step-pyramid that stands prominently at the center of the Chichen Itza archaeological site in Yucatán, Mexico. Archaeologists formally refer to this pyramid as Chichen Itza Structure 5B18.

• Tzompantli - Tzompantli, meaning skull rack, is also known as the Platform of Skulls. Chichen Itza features a Toltec structure where the heads of sacrificial victims were displayed.
• Cenote Ik kil - The Sacred Cenote, or Sacred Well, is one of the most revered locations at Chichen Itza. Also called the Well of Sacrifice, it embodies the core of Mayan beliefs and fears. Cenotes are water bodies formed by the limestone plain covering much of the Yucatán Peninsula, appearing as rivers, pools, or streams beneath the limestone surface.
• Temple of the Warriors - Resembling an elaborate wedding cake, the Temple of Warriors features three thick tiers at the base with a small temple on top. At the base of the stairway, there are approximately 200 columns, each depicting Toltec warriors in various scenes carved on every side.
• The Ossuary - Situated between plazas, platforms, and a cenote, stands a pyramid linked to the dynasty of the Lords of Chichen Itza.

El Osario, also known as the Ossuary, earned its name due to the numerous human and animal bones discovered on site. It is also referred to as the High Priest’s Grave.

El Osario is a smaller version of El Castillo, featuring four staircases and standing about 9 meters high. Designs similar to those on the Temple of Warriors and the Venus Platforms are carved into this structure.

• El Caracol - El Caracol is one of the more intriguing buildings at Chichen Itza. Atop this structure, one can see the remnants of what was once a cylindrical observatory.

The Mayans had a profound fascination with the heavens, believing they could record the will and actions of God by observing closely.

• Las Monjas - The impressive structure to your right is Las Monjas, or the Nunnery, possibly one of the largest buildings in Chichen Itza. It has been rebuilt multiple times, resulting in more chambers and flats than other structures.

A notable feature of the Las Monjas complex is the extensive number of texts that nearly cover the entire place.

• Tulum Archaeological Site - Tulum Ruins, Tulum Walls, and Cenote, House of Columns
• Casa Cenote - Don’t let the stunning ocean view distract you from this captivating structure. It consists of two rooms, one accessible from the entrance, with the other branching out from the western offshoot within the wall’s construction.
• Tulum - The Temple of the Wind is one of the most fascinating structures. It sits atop a cliff with its single doorway facing north, overlooking a group of small shrines on the hillside.

The round platforms here indicate that this is a temple dedicated to the Wind God.

• El Castillo - The largest structure featured in Tulum is the 40-foot Pyramid of The Castle (El Castillo), which stands on a rocky bluff of the same height. This structure follows the same pattern as other renowned Mayan architecture, being built in multiple phases.

• Temple of the Frescoes - Welcome to the Temple of Frescoes. This two-story building, with its modest proportions, holds significant archaeological importance. It is the most richly decorated and elaborately painted structure on this site.

• Tulum Beach - The ruins are embraced by a rugged coastline offering a breathtaking view of turquoise waters and sandy beaches by the sea. The vista of cliffs on which the ruins stand leaves a lasting impression on visitors. The picturesque walk down to the beach via the stairs from El Castillo reveals a mass of twisted limestone covered with plants. This view promises to linger in the memory of the place.
