Things to do in Mexico
Temple of the Warriors, Chichén Itzá
Mexico is Central America’s giant, where activities and experiences are as varied as the country’s diverse landscapes and heritage. The Mayan site of Chichén Itzá is a highlight, its ancient ballcourt, imposing pyramids and impressive sinkhole — where many treasures have been discovered — offering an insight into Mexico’s enigmatic ancient civilizations.

For more contemporary culture, explore Mexico City on an art tour or sail the canals of Xochimilco in a colorful gondola-like tajinera boat. Colonial history is revealed in San Cristóbal de las Casas, which is best seen on a walking tour, while in the Sea of Cortez you can spot blue and fin whales who come to the area to calve.

    The famous Mayan pyramids of Chichén Itzá are over 1,500 years old. The name Chichén Itzá is a Mayan word: CHI (mouth) CHEN (well) and ITZA (of the witch water). Some say this is because people were often thrown into the nearby cenote as sacrifices, and those who survived were believed to be seers.
