EL CASTILLO

by Joan58 - last update: Dec 31, 2002

El Castillo is the most important structure of Chichén Itzà. Its stairs ending in two large serpent heads. During the spring and fall equinox the sun casts shadows on the steps that create the illusion of a snake slithering down the face of the pyramid.

 My family went up and found it beautiful on top. Then there was the trip down. We used our backsides mostly. Great site.
