“We were very happy when Chichen Itza got selected as one of the Seven Wonders of the World”, tells our Mayan guide, Fabio, as we walk towards the main entrance of the wondrous site, located in the Yucatan province in south-eastern Mexico.“It was a recognition of our glorious ancestral past”.In 2007, Chichen Itza joined the Great Wall in China, Petra in Jordan, Christ Redeemer statue in Brazil, Machu Picchu in Peru, Colosseum in Rome and Taj Mahal in India to be grouped as the new Seven Wonders of the World.
