The ruins are a strange combination of Mayan and Toltec influences, spanning hundreds of years of intermittent inhabitation. Founded around the middle of the fifth century by the Mayans, Chichen Itza was taken over at some point by the Toltecs, probably around the year 900. It flourished until a point around the year 1200, at which time it was abandoned. The site is large, so bring comfortable clothes and shoes. Several tours are available, most by bus and some by air.
Bus tours stop for lunch along the way an many serve continental breakfasts.
