Another excursion we went on was to Chichen Itza

Chichen Itza is the capital of ancient Maya empire, its majestic building dates back to 435 and 455, and it is geographically located in the middle of spectacular natural environs in the Yucatan Peninsula. At this site declared as one of the 7 World Wonders, you can visit magnificent temples such as the Kukulcan Pyramid and the Ball Game as well as there are others that cannot be visited to avoid damages. 

The Castle or Pyramid of Kukulcan is the most impressive temple in Chichen Itza renowned for the number of tombs found there and its endless 91 steps, as well as the impeccable architecture that stands out by a stone feathered serpent. 

If you visit Chichen Itza on March 21st or September 21st you can admire a unique spectacle: the Equinox. Just at 3:00 p.m. the sun lights creates at the pyramid north side 7 light and shadows isosceles triangles, giving shape to the body of a slithering serpent. This effect is a symbol of the Kukulcan God descent (bird-serpent) to the earth, and also the beginning and ending agricultural cycle, according the Equinox (spring or autumn).

Follow the steps into the past and discover the most important Mayan cultural center considered one of the most advanced in America.

Another activity that we did was something similar to paragliding but in a bench seat. The ride on the wave runner was pretty exciting. They told us to hold on and Fred being Fred didn't follow directions well and was almost thrown into the ocean.

Another excursion that we went on was on a Jungle Tour. Here is a description:

Drive your own watercraft through the mangroves and get to the world’s second largest reef. You won’t have to travel a long distance for living this amazing adventure, just come to the Sunrise Marine, at the Cancun’s hotel zone. This amusing activity begins with a boat ride across the Nichupte lagoon mangroves, where you’ll have the opportunity of admiring an array of tropical species in its habitats. 

Then we’ll go directly to the spectacular Caribbean Sea crystal waters where you can snorkel and get amazed with the colorful marine fauna and the stunning coral reef’s beauty. 

Our pictures did not turn out the best but we do have proof that we went!
