Cenote Ik kil
Carretera Costera del Golfo, 3 Kilometros de la zona arqueologica de Chichen Itza, Chichen Itza, Mexico, 97757The Sacred Cenote or Sacred Well is one of the most venerable spots on the Chichen Itza. Otherwise known as the Well of Sacrifice, this spot combines the very essence of Mayan beliefs and fears. The cenotes are bodies of water formed by the limestone plain which covers most of the Yucatán Peninsula. The cenotes manifest themselves as rivers, pools or streams beneath the limestone terrain. 10 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location4
Temple of the Warriors
Chichen Itza, Mexico, 77500Much like an expensive wedding cake, the Temple of Warriors has three, thick tiers at the bottom with a small temple on top. Look at the base of the stairway, there are about 200 columns, each with Toltec warriors placed in varying scenes carved into every side.10 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location5
The Ossuary
Chichen Itza, MexicoBetween the plazas, platforms and a cenote stands a pyramid that is related to the dynasty of the Lords of Chichen Itza.
El Osario- otherwise known as the Ossuary - was given its name due to the numerous human and animal bones found on site. It is also known as the High Priest’s Grave.
El Osario is a smaller rendition of El Castillo. It has four staircases and is around 9 meters high. Designs similar to the ones on the Temple of Warriors and on the Venus Platforms are carved into this structure.10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free6
El Caracol
Carretera Merida Puerto Juarez, Chichen Itza, Mexico, 97751El Caracol is one of the more interesting buildings of Chichen Itza. On top of this structure, you can see the remains of what was originally a cylindrically shaped observatory.
The Mayans had a particular love for the heavens for they believed that they could record the will and actions of God if they look closely enough.10 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location7
Las Monjas
Chichen Itza, MexicoThe imposing structure on your right is Las Monjas or the Nunnery and it is quite possibly one of the largest buildings in Chichen Itza. It has been rebuilt over and over again, therefore it houses more chambers and flats than other structures.
