Chichen Itza is one of the Wonders of the World that many travelers dream of visiting. However, during your visit to this archaeological site, you cannot miss taking photos of your best moments. That is why in this article, we give you some tips and ideas so your pictures look amazing and get many likes on Instagram or Facebook when you share them.
One of the main photos that must be in your gallery is with the Pyramid of Kukulkan as your background. You can take the photo full body while looking directly at the pyramid, or with the pyramid behind you while you smile and capture the essence of the place.
One of the most iconic photos you should recreate when visiting Chichen Itza is holding your partner’s hand as if you were guiding them to the Pyramid of Kukulkan while he or she takes the picture. This is not only an iconic shot, but also a romantic moment you will live in a magical place.
Take advantage of this magical place to capture as many romantic photos as you want. You can hug each other while looking at the pyramid, or share a sweet kiss with this wonder as your background.
Being in Chichen Itza is also about having fun. Use this chance to take creative photos by playing with perspective.
How can you make this style of photo? You can do it by creating an illusion of depth between the objects and the camera position. This technique makes things look smaller or bigger than they really are.
Stand a few meters in front of the Pyramid of Kukulkán to make it look smaller, and use one hand as if you were holding it. It will look like you are carrying the pyramid with no weight at all.
Another cool idea is to stand sideways and use both hands like you are pushing the pyramid, or stretch one hand out as if you are touching it.
You can also jump in the air while the camera captures the moment, so it looks like you are jumping over the pyramid.
Choose a great outfit and sit on the grass to capture your essence together with the Pyramid of Chichen Itza. Relax your shoulders, stretch your body a little, and keep your back straight so your figure looks more aesthetic.
There are two main ways to take this photo: one is facing the pyramid with your body straight to “El Castillo”; the other is sitting diagonally while looking at the horizon, with the pyramid as your background.
At the archaeological site, there are also wooden benches in a perfect spot in front of the Pyramid of Kukulkán. You can sit there comfortably, place your feet up, rest your elbow on your knee, keep your back straight, and act as if you are admiring the view. With the right angle, you will get an amazing picture, perfect to post on social media.
Front photos can sometimes look a bit boring. The main idea is that you enjoy your visit to this wonder of the world, but also take home a beautiful memory to share. Of course, we know you will want to post your photos on social media to show you were at this amazing place.
That’s why playing with angles is a great way to make your photos at Chichen Itza stand out. For example, you can use bushes or plants around the archaeological site to create nice portrait photos. Place your phone or camera behind them, focusing on your model and the pyramid. With this idea, you can get an amazing new profile picture for Facebook or Instagram.
