MARCH 21 SPRING EQUINOX

On March 21st, we invite you to join us on a journey that is far more than an excursion—it is a step back in time, into the heart of one of the world’s greatest civilizations.

At Chichen Itza, the ancient Maya built not only temples of stone, but monuments to the cosmos itself. And on this special day, during the Spring Equinox, the pyramid of El Castillo transforms into a living calendar. As the sun sets, light and shadow unite to reveal the breathtaking image of the serpent descending the pyramid’s steps—a spectacle that has amazed visitors for centuries.

This is not just sightseeing. It is a chance to witness the genius of the Maya, to feel the energy of renewal, and to be part of a rare cosmic alignment that happens only twice a year.

We invite you to experience this unforgettable moment with us—an excursion filled with history, culture, and wonder. Let the magic of Chichen Itza inspire you, as the sun and stone come together in perfect harmony.

Join us on March 21st for the Equinox at Chichen Itza. Let’s celebrate the balance of light and life, together.

At the spring equinox (around March 20-21) in Chichén Itzá, expect to see the "Descent of Kukulcán," where late afternoon sun creates a stunning shadow illusion of a serpent creeping down the El Castillo pyramid. Thousands of visitors gather, creating a crowded, festive atmosphere. 

What to Expect:

• The Phenomenon: Between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM, seven triangles of light and shadow form on the northern staircase, creating the image of a snake joining a stone head at the base.

• Crowds & Atmosphere: The site is packed with thousands of people, often featuring music, dance performances, and a carnival-like energy.

• Logistics & Tips:

  • Timing: While the official date is key, the effect is visible for several days before and after.

  • Restriction: Climbing the pyramids is strictly prohibited.

  • Weather: Expect hot, sunny conditions; bring sunscreen, water, and hats.
