4. Chillin’ In Chichen Itza
Rediscovering the Mayan Pyramids Deep within the Mexican rainforest lies Chichen Itza, an ancient Mayan city. Its main pyramid, El Castillo, is a towering structure that once gleamed with vibrant colors. The city thrived until a drought led to its abandonment. Over time, the jungle overtook the site until it was rediscovered and restored. Despite the restoration, Chichen Itza can only hint at its former glory.
