Chichen-Itza Is A New Wonder Of The World
July 15th, 2007
One of my favorite spots on the planet was elected as a New 7 Wonders of the World last week. I am a little late in reporting this bit of news from July 7th, but since it is only one of the two places on the list that I have visited, I wanted to mention it.
Personally, I think that in this contest of sorts, Chichen-Itza represents all of the archaeological site on the Yucatan peninsula rather than just this one site. Chichen-Itza just happens to have had the most visitors of all of the sites there. Many of the Maya sites are just as incredible, or maybe more so, than Chichen. Uxmal, Coba, Palenque … all are pretty fascinating and well worth visiting if you happen to ever get to the area.
