A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Chichen Itza's El Castillo pyramid is precisely engineered so that during the spring and autumn equinoxes, a shadow serpent descends its northern staircase. The Great Ball Court — the largest in Mesoamerica at 168 by 70 metres — and the Sacred Cenote make Chichen Itza the most archaeologically complex Maya site in existence.
