Spring Equinox at Chichén Itzá
The Equinox at Chichen Itza is one of the world's most astonishing archeo-astronomical alignment phenomena. Twice a year, at the iconic El Castillo pyramid (Temple of Kukulcan), the setting sun projects a solar optical illusion where the Feathered Serpent appears to crawl down the staircase from the top of the pyramid to the stone serpent heads at its base.
What awaits you
A mystical and unforgettable encounter with Ancient Maya astronomy and mathematical precision awaits you. In the late afternoon, you will watch in awe as sunlight forms seven triangles of light and shadow, carving out the slithering body of Kukulcan down the steps. The event is surrounded by incredible energy, visitors dressed in traditional white clothing, Maya ceremonial chants, and the breathtaking grandeur of a New 7 Wonder of the World.
