What to Do in Chichen Itza Yucatan
The pyramids, temples and shrines at Chichén Itzá (chee-CHEHN eet-SAH)—the magnificent remains of a once-great Mayan city—were designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988. It is believed that Chichén Itzá was founded sometime around A.D. 435; the first large-scale excavations of the site began around the turn of the 20th century. Of the several hundred buildings believed to have once stood, only about 30 are fully restored. A few more remain as they were found, and the rest are hidden under rough, underbrush-covered mounds in the thick jungle scrub of the north-central Yucatán Peninsula.
