Chichen-Itzá was voted one of the New Seven Wonders Of The World. Sacrifices, rituals and, erm, ball games all took place here. Whisper at one end of the Great Court and you’ll be heard 500 feet away.
Was founded in 1555 to commemorate the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan. They say that the architect was blinded, so he couldn't create another masterpiece like this one.
It took 14 years and a team of 400 sculptors, led by Gutzon Borglum, to complete this massive "Shrine of Democracy," dedicated in 1941.
Amazing tour. Was able to take pics but needed to sign a waiver. If you like hobbits, this is a must see!
Go early! The taj is pearlescent and changes colors as the sun rises. It's amazing.
