Chickbike > The Ball Court at Chichen Itza.  The Ball Court is 545 feet long and 225 feet wide overall.  A whisper from one end can be heard at the other end 500 feet away.

Legends say the winning capitan would present his head to the losing capitan.  Mayans believed this to be an honor.
Chickbike > El Castillo - The main pyramid of Chichen Itza is a bit challenging.  Coming down is even more so.  The steps leading up to the pyramid are small.  It is said it was deisgned that way because you never approach the King striaght on nor do you turn your back on him.

To climb easily climb diaginally.

Once at the top, the view is breath taking.
