One of these years, we are actually going to see that! Going to Belize this year for the kids' break from school. Have a great time! It would be fun to plan this excursion as a "sleepover" adventure!!

I think next year I'm going to have to plan on being in Playa for this event!

That would be something to see. Indeed.

Mitch, we are SO THERE for the Chichen Itza tour on the 22nd, but the link you've posted doesn't bring you to the booking page and when I look at the regular tour calendar it indicates the Tulum tour for Saturday. Can you take a look when you get a chance? I want to reserve our spots before they fill up!
Really looking forward to this trip...

suzeq · 02-27-2008

I'd like to go too. Is this an overnight tour or one on each day? I only ask because the booking page had a lodging box.

I wish we were going, this would be awesome to see.
I hope some one will take some pictures.

Ah, there's the million dollar question.

and the answer is............going out and buying a new calendar.

**Mitch** · 02-27-2008

Hi Southbound! Would be great to see you on the tour! I have edited the link in my original posting and the tour calendar has been corrected. Thanks for the heads up! And hi suzeq! No, it is not an overnighter, there will be one tour on each day. Would love to see you on the tour too, the more the merrier!

Can it be my birthday again?

We saw the equinox at Chichen Itza a few years ago. It's an amazing phenomenon. You can read a bit about it, and see a photo of the Castillo, in our Chichen Itza article. So, that was truly amazing to see. But I have to say that what left an even more long-lasting impression was the whole scene around it. There was a lot of people there, some tourists, but mostly Mexicans. Many people were wearing totally while clothes, and some were touching the pyramid as to feed off its mystical energy. There was a big stage where they had performances all day. The day we were there, a choir sang Carmina Burana - very cool indeed. It was a big happening, and a very very cool experience.

RLanting · 03-06-2008

What is the hours for the Tour on the 22nd, so I could not find it on your Page. Also is there any extra cost being a special tour?

**Mitch** · 03-06-2008

The Chichen Itza/ Valladolid Tours begin around 7:30 am and we return around 7:30 pm. Of course pick up times vary for each party on the tour. For the Equinox tours, we will be changing the order of stops so we will be at the ruins later in the day and ready to witness the phoenomena around 4:30 pm. There will be no extra charge for these special equinox tours! This is something not to be missed so sign up soon!

RLanting · 03-08-2008

I have never been there and I have read how the Steps add up to the calendar year and that the sun shadows only on one side. But what happens on the Special Equinox?? What do you witness?? and will there be a lot of people that you can not enjoy the tour and really see everything? I just want to find out as much as we can because we are on there 5 days and need travel on two of them. Thanks for your help.
