Day 3: Chichen Itza

Chichén Itzá is a world-famous complex of Mayan ruins on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. A massive step pyramid known as El Castillo dominates the 6.5-sq.-km. ancient city, which thrived from around 600 A.D. to the 1200s. Graphic stone carvings survive at structures like the ball court, Temple of the Warriors and the Wall of the Skulls. Nightly sound-and-light shows illuminate the buildings' sophisticated geometry.

We had an LDS tour guide who showed us around these amazing ruins. It was interesting to hear this from an LDS perspective. He even had us read the the scriptures from the old testament and the Book of Mormom to back up his theories.   It was pretty far away from our resort, and it was super hot but we were glad we went. It was a fun day.
