Experience Chichen Itza
From simple and efficient shuttle services to one of a kind sightseeing tours and explorations let the local experts show you Chichen Itza like no one else can. The Mayan civilization is considered to be one the most complex and brilliant of its time. Dating as far back as 1500 B.C., the Mayan Civilization flourished until about 900 A.D. in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula and parts of Guatemala, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador. Because they made science, writing, mathematics, astronomy, and religion pillars of their lives, the details of these mysterious people continue to intrigue us.
The Mayans understood the concept of the space between zero and one. They used binary numbers that are used today in computing. Their calendar was more accurate than ours today, not requiring a leap year. They had knowledge of penicillin 199 years before the western world rediscovered it. Also, their astronomical calculations allowed them to come up with a theoretical "True North," which allowed them to create effects such as that of the descending snake during the Equinox.
