Chichen Itza and the Descent of the Feathered Serpent

Legend has it that Mayan priests would gather the entire town on the esplanade of Chichén Itzá and, to fill themselves with power, would show them how "Kukulkan," the deity better known as "The Feathered Serpent," would descend through the pyramid to speak through them.

The visual phenomenon that people would witness is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful expressions of nature that would leave its mark on generation after generation to this day.

Yucatán is one of the states of the Mexican Republic where the Mayans predominated. In this state, in addition to having Magical Towns and beautiful cenotes with crystal-clear waters, there are also regions where the ancient Mayans resided and where impressive events took place; and Chichén Itzá is the ideal place where every March 21st, thousands of people gather to witness the spring equinox, but mainly, to see Kukulkán descend from the heavens.

Located just 115 km east of the city of Mérida and 185 km from Cancún, Chichén Itzá is one of the main archaeological zones in the state of Yucatán, and the Pyramid of Kukulkán is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. For this and more, it is recommended to visit this place!

Every March 21st, thousands of people meet on the esplanade of the Pyramid of Kukulkan, where at approximately 3:45 pm the sun, by projecting its rays, causes triangular shadows to gradually form on the 9 lateral platforms of the pyramid, which "descend" to the pyramid's base, giving shape to the magnificent feathered serpent.

The visual effect is something magical and worthy of appreciation; people stand up and applaud nature by extending both arms and wearing white clothing to fill themselves with energy, just as the Mayan priests did in ancient times.

But before contemplating this amazing spectacle, do not miss the attractions in Chichén Itzá such as:

The Astronomical Observatory (El Caracol)
