More than 350 state and federal officials, along with the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), have initiated operations in the archaeological zone of Cancún.
In this area, visitors can witness the shadowy descent of the Kukulcán serpent on the pyramid, an event that begins at 15:16 hours. This phenomenon will be visible from the 15th, allowing those interested to plan their visit accordingly.
During a recent tour of Chichén Itzá, logistical elements such as the placement of medical services, hydration stations, restrooms, media areas, and evacuation routes were determined. As part of these enhancements, a temporary alternate entrance named 'shelter' will be established to accommodate the influx of visitors expected at the archaeological site. A team of 370 personnel will be on hand to ensure quality service during large gatherings.
In 2023, the site attracted 32,683 visitors from March 18th to 21st, and 35,315 visitors the following year, making the Yucatan archaeological zone the most visited during the equinox. The outlook for future attendance is promising. The involved departments have agreed to continue refining operational details in subsequent meetings.
Another draw for visitors is the Chichén Itzá museum, which celebrated its anniversary earlier this month. The museum houses 500 artifacts, and in a commemorative event, readings in the Mayan language and a photographic exhibition were featured.
