This celebration takes place at Chichen Itza, a World Heritage Site and the centerpoint of Mayan culture in the Yucatan Jungle. The equinox, which happens twice a year in March and September, is defined as the point in the Earth's path around the sun when day and night match in length. Every year, this event draws curious and spiritual visitors to celebrate among the historic buildings that point toward the astrological mysteries the Mayans worked to solve.
