Chichen Itza, Riviera Maya, Yucatan, Mexico

Back to Mexico, to the Mayan complex of Chichen Itza. Although hidden deep inside in the forest, the place is absolutely amazing. In this first photo you can see the main pyramid of this Pre-Hispanic complex - it's name - Temple of Kukulkan.

In the lower left you can have an idea of the effort needed to reach the top of the main temple. Also in the lower left (in background) is the warrior's temple (in Spanish, Lo Templo de los Guerreros).

Also present (to the right) is one of the many stone sculptures of ancient Mayan warriors.
