The sacred city of the Itza, called Chichen Itza (chee-chehn eet-sah) in Maya, is located 2-1/2 hours from
Cancun Mexico. This archaeological site is rated among the most important of the Maya culture and covers an area
of approximately six square miles where hundreds of buildings once stood. Now most are mounds, but about thirty
may still be seen by tourists.

The ruins are divided into two groups. One group belongs to the classic Maya Period and was built between
the 7th and 10th centuries A.D., at which time the city became a prominent ceremonial center. The other group
corresponds to the Maya-Toltec Period, from the later part of the 10th century to the beginning of the 13th
century A.D. This area includes the Sacred Well and most of the outstanding ruins.
