Not only Egypt is famous for its pyramids. The old Mayan city Chichen Itza offers another masterpiece of human architecture: El Castillo, a 78-foot, 91-step pyramid. Some other attractions on the site include the Temple of the Warriors, the Ball Court and Tzompantli, the Wall of Skulls. One of the most thrilling views are offered by the El Castillo pyramid at sunset, when shadows create an illusion of  a large serpent slithering down the pyramid.
