📖 What makes this Chichen Itza tour different

During the 120-minute visit, the guide presents the history and symbolism of the ruins from a Mormon perspective. The tour discusses El Castillo or the Temple of Kukulcan, the Temple of the Thousand Columns, the Tzompantli and the ball court.

The guide also presents theories and research proposing Mesoamerica as a possible setting for the Book of Mormon. This is not a neutral archaeological tour: its appeal depends on whether you want to explore that religious connection.
