Ball court.
Our trip to Chichén Itzá was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! We saw everything there, from El Castillo (the pyramid), the ball courts, the sacrificial cenote, the group of thousand columns, and the observatory. We also did some shopping and bartered with the vendors. We left to eat just as a storm was coming in! It was a great day and we learned a lot about how the ancient Mayas lived.
