Birdwatching, Chichen Itza

Bedecked in mesmerizing green, golds, blues and reds, the birds of the Yucatan jungle are so colourful they seem like the jewels of a Mayan king come to life. 

In fact, The Mayans were just as enamoured with the jungle’s feathered inhabitants as the telescopic-camera toting birders of today; go to just the right spot at the Temple of Kukulcan and clap, you will hear a chorus of birdsong, mimicking the voice of the Quetzal bird, sacred to the Mayans as god of the air.
