The Valley Independent recently took a look at traveling to Cancun and Chichen Itza. Chichen Itza was the first wonder I ever visited, way back in 1991 when I was a freshman in high school. The highlight was being able to climb the Pyramid of Kukulcan, also known as El Castillo. Unfortunately, visitors are no longer able to climb the steps of the large temple.
Chichen Itza has the luxury of being only a two-hour drive away from Cancun. Nothing ties a vacation together more than being able to split it between visiting a world wonder and a beach resort. It's a nice balance.
Of course, Chichen Itza-Cancun isn't the only World Wonder-beach combo out there. The Parthenon-Santorini is another awesome combo, while Angkor Wat (Cambodia)-Phuket, Thailand is also a top option. Visitors to Egypt's many great monuments can also relax by one of its many resorts by the Red Sea. For more on any of the world wonders, check out my corresponding website.
