This was the line when we left, again, we got right in at 9:30. I don't know if there is a season for Chichen Itza, give the heat and rain in the summer, I think this may be the season but we didn't feel overwhelmed.

El Caracol or the Observatory. This is the place where Mayan astronomer, Carl Chaac Mool Sagan discovered billions and billions of stars. Kidding aside this is one of the most unique buildings at Chichen Itza.

La Iglesia, this is one of the most ornate and I think best preserves buildings at Chichen Itza. It's also one of the structures you can get pretty close to.

Tzompantli, row of skulls, the Mayans used to stack them on poles. How thoughtful, who wants a bunch skulls laying around the temple, willy nilly.The skulls were either from battle or from the ball game.
