Chichen Itza is one of the Yucatan Peninsula's most impressive archaeological sites, covering over four square miles. At its peak between 750 and 1200 A.D., the city was the political and economic center of the Maya area at the time. The site gives clear evidence of the advances of the ancient Mayan culture in astronomy and art, as well as giving important insight into their religion.
