- The fifth wonder of the world is Chichen Itza, that located in Mexico. The site exhibits a wide range of architectural styles, from the Puuc style, which is found among the northern lowlands' Puuc Maya, to what is known as "In The Mexican Origin" and the resemblance of styles seen in central Mexico.
