Temple of the Warriors is found near Chichen Itza. Each of the 200 pillars which surround the tri-level Temple were carved painted in bright colors to resemble warriors. These were support columns, capable of holding up a roof structure to provide shade for large gatherings of people. It is one of the better preserved ruins and studies have revealed details of the Mayan lifestyle. It was built between 800 and 1050 BCE. Chichen Itza is 123 miles from Cancun City.

What's not to love! Gorgeous and mystifying. Can still see engravings on the pillars.

You can walk among a dazzling array of endless columns. If the Mayan civilization had to honor as many warriors as these columns represent, I'd hate to face them in battle!

We got jipped on a tour there. Only allowed 20 minutes to tour the ruins from a Carnival Cruise excursion. Waist of money. Anyone have a suggestion on a better way to visit the ruins that doesn’t involve driving from the U.S.?
