Noches De Kukulkan - Chichen Itza

The Noches de Kukulkan is an awesome lightshow in Chichen Itza. This review is not about the actual event but about the online rip off. My girlfriend and I both booked the tickets online on their websites or at least tried to. We were asked for credit card details which we provided, than an error occoured and we did not receive a ticket. We sent emails for refund and my girlfriend got no answer for a long time. I got an answer that I just have been refunded which is not true. Actually we both did not get any money back so far, waiting for four weeks now. Banks are informed. Update: Transaction was undone after a lot of paperwork and I got my money back after about half a year. Again: The show was awesome, just pay cash.

We visited here a lifetime ago in early March, before the COVID-19 pandemic. Check dates, because they may be temporarily closed. This incredible light show takes place at the Chichen Itza archaeological zone after sunset (beginning times vary, but they will let you know exactly what time when you buy the tickets). You have time to explore the area of all the buildings on the site, which are all illuminated in colored lights that continually change. You have about 30 to 45 minutes to walk around and see this marvelous site bathed in ethereal lights, making the site seem even more other-worldly. You are then seated to see a light show that is projected on the Pyramid of Kukulkan (aka the Castle). The show tells the story of the Mayan religion and history, and specifically life at this ruined city. While the introduction is narrated in English and Spanish, the main show is only narrated in Spanish, but even if you don’t speak the language, the show is spectacular. It lasts another 25 or 30 minutes. In 1988, Chichén Itzá was declared “World Heritage” by UNESCO and it is considered one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. By day, the site is open for regular viewing as well. Tickets cost $520 MXN, which is about $20 or $25 US, and it’s completely worth it. I highly recommend this show (experience)—I’ve never seen anything like it. Oh, and if you gave this site less than 5 stars, you’re impossible to please.

Simply amazing. A must see. Most attractions here in the Yucatan are surprisingly awesome and this may be the best of them. The audio your of the lit up plaza was informative and stunning. The light show on the main pyramid was fantastic and also informative. My favorite part was how the lights imposed what the pyramid looked like in it's post-classic original form and also how it looked when it was discovered by anthropologists

Great place..

The temple of chichen itza! I highly recommend coming here it was so beautiful and interesting to learn all the history of the Mayan people.
