Every year over 40,000 people make the trek to the great pyramid to watch in awe as the snakes diamond backed body slowly appears.
Sorry don't have that picture but I'll try and locate one)
This construction is an icon of the city “CHICHÉN ITZÀ – La ciudad al borde del pozo de los itzáes” wich was the most important regional capital in 750 a 1200 A.C., linking the Classic and the Postclassic Mesoamerican age.
