SPRING EQUINOX – Twice a year the earth experiences what is called an equinox, which literally translated means “equal night.” If you are visiting Cancun or the Riviera Maya during the time of the spring equinox then you will soon learn if you don’t already know that this planetary occurrence was and is a big deal for the Mayan people. Each spring equinox, eager visitors stream to Chichen Itza to watch incredible phenomena that occur at the exact moment that the sun crosses what is known as the celestial equator. Visitors and locals will see a shadow outlining the form of a snake of light (Kukulcán) descend the steps of El Castillo until reaching the bottom of Chichen Itza’s pyramid. The Spring Equinox was particularly important as it marked the start of spring and represented rebirth and new beginnings in the earth’s cycles, which on a practical level meant more food and abundance.
