El Castillo — the Temple of Kukulkan. Stand at its base and clap your hands: the echo returns as a quetzal chirp, an acoustic effect built in deliberately over a thousand years ago. This is the building that earned Chichen Itza a spot on the New Seven Wonders list in 2007. © Daniel Schwen, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons
