Another view of the Temple of Kulkulkan. On the Equinox, the shadows will hit the temple just right and the shadow will create a snake along the stairs and you can see the head at the bottom. It is amazing that it was built over 1000 years ago with no modern tools.

This is the Temple of the Warriors, just a little ways off from Kulkulkan.
