Destination:
Hours: 6Journey Mexico invites you on an exclusive, unique, and expertly guided exploration of Chichén Itzá by privately chartered plane.
Chichén Itzá was chosen in 2007 as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. In Maya Chichén Itzá means “mouth of the well of the Itzáes”, reference to the great Cenote, a natural well that exists in the Chichén complex and was used by the Itzáe, the indigenous Maya people who inhabited the area, for ceremonies in honor of the rain god Chaac. The magnificent restored temples of Chichén Itzá rise majestically from their surrounding, offering a splendid glimpse into the great prehispanic Mayan Culture.
From the air, you gain an unusual and unique perspective of the flat but lush topography as well as dozens of cenotes of the YucatanPeninsula
