Enjoy an array of interactive and life-like attractions at the Chichen-Itza virtual site.
Climb or fly over the great pyramid El Castillo, dive and search for hidden treasures in the sacred cenote (sink hole), and visit a na (traditional Mayan home). The area also includes a Mayan temazcal (sweat lodge). In addition, an audio tour of the area with relevant historical information about Chichen-Itza is available with its very own transportation from the back of a Mayan inspired butterfly. A gallery of images and a streaming video of the equinox is also on hand.
“We are proud to share with the world this Mexican landmark and heritage,” said Francisco Lopez Mena, CEO of the Mexico Tourism Board. “We are very excited to be promoting Chichen-Itza in this new medium, and encourage everyone to visit the site and cast their vote for Chichen-Itza as a new seven wonder,” he added.
Voting kiosks will be placed throughout the site and across the virtual world in high-traffic areas, where you will be transported automatically to the www.new7wonders.com site to vote for Chichen-Itza, upon clicking. As a token of appreciation, the Mexico Tourism Board will be giving voters beautiful Mayan inspired clothing and jewelry to wear in their SL travels.
