Have you ever been to Mexico? I have and it is so amazing. When I went to Mexico, I went to go see a lot of different Mayan ruins, including Chitchen Itza and Tulum. The Mayan pyramid at Chichen Itza has a lot of math embedded in the structure, and it must have taken a long time to structure it out so it matches perfectly. It is used as a clock, calendar, and a building all in one! There is also a Pyramid inside of the outer one where the King would live during the time period. Another cool structure to check out in Chichen Itza is the warriors temple. It’s a field where they would play games, like how we use fields for modern day sports. Tulum is more of a village, where they had some larger structures but others were just small huts. When you go to Tulum, be sure to take water it gets really hot! Tulum has a walk through to some hideaway storage areas that you can hide in, and it also has a beautiful beach you can hike down to as well! Although, you may only hike down to this beach when it’s not turtle season.

I would definitely recommend doing some of these things, they were a blast. I will definitely be going back someday! Oh yea, and make sure to go swim in the ancient cenote while you’re there.
