CHICEN ITZA
The stepped pyramids, temples, columned arcades, and other stone structures of Chichén Itzá were sacred to the Maya and a sophisticated urban center of their empire from A.D. 750 to 1200.
Viewed as a whole, the incredible complex reveals much about the Maya and Toltec vision of the universe—which was intimately tied to what was visible in the dark night skies of the Yucatán Peninsula.
The most recognizable structure here is the Temple of Kukulkan, also known as El Castillo. This glorious step pyramid demonstrates the accuracy and importance of Maya astronomy—and the heavy influence of the Toltecs, who invaded around 1000 and precipitated a merger of the two cultural traditions.
The temple has 365 steps—one for each day of the year. Each of the temple’s four sides has 91 steps, and the top platform makes the 365th.

The Grand Canyon National Park is a national park in the United States, one of the oldest in the country, located in the state of Arizona. Inside the park is the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the Colorado River that was among the 28 finalists in the contest The 7 Natural Wonders of the World (New7wonders). The park has an area of 4926.66 km².
Most visitors enter from the south side, on State Highway 64, which links the south entrance, near Tusayan, and east of the park. The park's headquarters are in Grand Canyon Village, near the south entrance. About thirty miles from the south side are accessible by road. Far fewer visitors flock to the north side, via State Highway 67. The only road connection between the two sides is the Navajo Bridge, which is a five-hour drive. The rest of the Grand Canyon is very rugged, although some places are accessible by mule or by forest roads.
The Grand Canyon area became a National Monument on January 11, 1908, by proclamation of President Theodore Roosevelt, and was redesigned as a national park on February 26, 1919. The creation of the park was a success of the conservation movements, since it helped prevent the construction of reservoirs inside.
In 1979, the park was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.
