  • The platform/temple of Venus is so beautiful. Intricate carvings still can be seen, and snake heads sticking out the edges are typical Mayan sculpture that we love to see.

  • It’s right by the main pyramid so you’ll see it. Have a guide to tell you the stories and so you see the relief structures of the Eagle and Jaguar. Spend a minute or so passing between the sports...

  • Venus platform is a beautifully restored and preserved small pyramidal platform adorned with snakes heads guarding each of its four stairways. It can be located between the great ballcourt and the Castillo pyramid. Beautiful and powerful building.
  • Wow! Can’t believe this amazing site is in such good condition! Amazing place to visit loved every minute of it especially knowing the history of the place would actually return as it’s that magnificent!
  • The great platform of Venus is also known as the Tomb of Chal Mool. It has steps on all 4 sides leading to Plumped serpents head guarding the platform at the top.
  • Amazing, beautiful, life changing!
  • Chichen Itza is a must see if visiting the Yucatan peninsula. The best way to see it is by renting a car and getting there right at 8am. Almost noone is there at that time. The big tours don't arrive until about 9:30. We just used online videos to learn about the different ruin highlights.
