Chichen Itza

The ancient Mayan capital of Chichen Itza is an archaeological zone in the eastern region of the state of Yucatan. This place, declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO, will take you back in time to the pre-Hispanic era as you discover the secrets awaiting you in the most important structures. At El Castillo (also known as the of Pyramid of Kukulcan), a natural phenomenon occurs each year during the spring equinox: the sunlight creates a shadow image of a plumed serpent descending down the pyramid’s stairs. This unique experience draws hundreds of tourists from all over the world.
Religion and Mysticism

In Guadalajara’s environs you’ll find some of Mexico’s most important religious pilgrimage sites, where thousands of faithful descend on beautifully constructed churches. Among the most important massive pilgrimages is that of Temastian, where each year pilgrims give thanks to el Señor de los Rayos for the favors they have received and ask for his blessings. Another important pilgrimage site is Jalostotitlan, home of Saint Toribio Romo Gonzalez, a martyr who lived during the Cristero era and whose bodily remains lie in the chapel.

Travel Media
Mexico is a traveller's paradise, crammed with a multitude of opposing identities: desert landscapes, snow-capped volcanoes, ancient ruins, teeming industrialised cities, time-warped colonial towns, glitzy resorts, lonely beaches and a world-beating collection of flora and fauna. This mix of modern and traditional, the clichéd and the surreal, is the key to Mexico's charm, whether your passion is throwing back margaritas, listening to howler monkeys, surfing the Mexican Pipeline, scrambling over Mayan ruins or expanding your Day of the Dead collection of posable skeletons.
