The Ruins of Chichen Itza and cenote...

Coucou!

So after the swimming, diving and all that... we went to visit Chichen Itza.
Chichen Itza is a beautiful site of a Maya Town...

Ok, we have seen quite a lot of ruins until now, but to be honest all of them have something particular that makes it exceptional.

For Chichen Itza, the pyramid that stand in the middle of the site is very big and so very impressive. All the ruins are quite well preserved which makes it lovely to walk around and think that we are walking on the steps of the Mayas.

Another very beautiful thing on the site were the "thousand columns". It is a place where is left a lot of columns all in lines ... quite impressive!

After wandering around the site for quite a while, we decided to go to a nearby Cenote called Ikil.

A cenote is a natural sinkhole, usually connected to other ones through underground cave systems... More simply, it is a big hole with a lot of water!! but usually in beautiful sceneries.

The one we went to, has vegetations going along the walls of the hole and there is black fishes in... you can jump about 4/5 meters on the side of it... which Ola and me enjoyed very much!!

Back to the town, we went for dinner and Ola saw that a young girl left her handbag on the chair when she left... As a gentleman, he ran to give it to her back!!! What a hero!!!

That's all for Chichen Itza!

Kisses

Agnes and Ola
