According to Eddie Salazar Gamboa, professor of the Technological Institute of Mérida, in the buildings of the Temple of the Seven Dolls in Dzibilchaltún, the False Arch of Oxkintok, the Governor’s Palace and the Palomar of Uxmal, the Pyramid and the Caracol of Mayapán and “El Castillo de Chichén Itzá” visitiros will be able to see the alignment of the structures with the sun on this date.
It is expected that the phenomena will be appreciated without major problem, since according to the weather forecast, cold front No. 15 in the Gulf of Mexico is disintegrating and the skies will be clear.
