Chichen Itza was a large city built by the Mayans in the terminal classic period. It's located in the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. Chichen was a major focal point in the northern Mayan lowlands from AD 600-1200. It has a lot of architectural styles combined that are like the styles seen in Central Mexico and from the Puuc and Chenes styles in the northern Mayan lowlands. When this was discovered, they called it cultural diffusion.
On our visit, we had a real Mayan tour guide. He was nice and explained the history of Chichen Itza.
One of the largest Mayan cities, Chichen Itza was also likely to have one of the great tollands, or mythical cities. This city had one of the most diverse populations in he Mayan world.
Chichen Itza is one of the most visited sites in Mexico and one of the 7 Wonders of the Modern World.
