Chichén Itzá, chosen in 2007 as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, is a site of great archaeological interest due to all the information it throws about the ancient Mayan civilization. In the past few days, more than 14,000 people gathered at the Chichén Itzá archaeological site to witness the archeoastronomy phenomenon of the spring equinox.
In the Chichén Itzé Castle there is a phenomenon of light and shadow, known worldwide as the descent of the Kukulkan God. This phenomenon symbolizes the descent of a feathered serpent Kukulcán, the Mayan God who fertilizes the earth and marks the beginning of the spring in the Northern Hemisphere of the planet.
Tourists from all over the world were able to observe the phenomenon two days before and two after the spring equinox, which this year was on March 20.
This phenomenon is worldwide known and generates interest in many of the travelers, who describe it as a unique and energizing experience, where they truly connect with what is happening around them.
