Culture of the Riviera Maya
The only Mayan walled city on the coastline. Although not as impressive in size as Coba and Chichen Itza, it holds an unique beauty contrasting the stone castle on a cliff above a white sand beach and the clearest turquoise water.
Chichen Itza from Yucatec Maya: chich'en itza', "At the mouth of the well of the Itza") is a large pre-Columbian archaeological site built by the Maya civilization located in the northern center of the Yucatán Peninsula.
