Chichén Itzá
Considered one of the 7 wonders of the world, thousands of people gather during the spring equinox with the intention of recharging new energies and witnessing the incredible spectacle of light and shadow.
When the sun´s rays hit the rafters of the main staircase, triangles of light are formed as a result of the shadow projected by the nine bodies or platforms of the pyramid; that shadow, as the sun advances, runs along the wall sliding down until it illuminates the head of one of the snakes that are at the beginning of the staircase.
According to historians, this effect symbolizes the descent of the god Kukulcán to earth, to begin the agricultural cycle.
