Marvel at the awe-inspiring architecture of Templo de Kukulkán in Chichen Itza, Yucatan, Yucatan Peninsula. Also known as El Castillo, this iconic Maya pyramid is a testament to the advanced engineering and astronomical knowledge of the ancient civilization. Twice a year during the spring and fall equinoxes, a fascinating light-and-shadow phenomenon known as the 'serpent effect' occurs on the pyramid's staircase. As the sun sets, shadows create the illusion of a descending serpent along the structure. Templo de Kukulkán is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a must-visit destination for history buffs and those intrigued by ancient civilizations.
