It can be difficult to travel internationally, particularly in a world still dealing with a pandemic. However, through Virtual Field Trips we are able to experience the world in new ways.
Chichén Itzá has an interesting history and was inhabited by multiple civilizations over the past 3000 years. There have been settlements that were mysteriously abandoned and we are still learning new information about these people and their lives.
In addition to the ancient buildings, there are also amazing natural features. There are massive rainforests surrounding the site. There are also interesting sinkhole features called “cenotes.” These cenotes were created by collapsing caves but created access to water for drinking and agricultures. One large sinkhole, named the “Sacred Cenote,” was used as a ceremonial location in among indigenous cultures.
All in all, it was interesting to take a trip without going anywhere. Virtual Field trips allow us to experience the world in a new and interesting way.

Chichen Itza looks like a great place to visit, and now we can all take a virtual trip to this fantastic destination. Thank you for sharing this information. I am very interested in the Sacred Cenote.
