LA Getaway seekers: Chichen Itza, Mexico is a close switch. One of the 7 Great Wonders of the World, these Ancient Mayan Ruins have all kinds of amazing sights to see! The Mayans had a particular flair for style in their statues and writings, their main building El Castillo was built to cast the shadow of a serpent and they used human sacrifice rather loosely even losing a ball game. It's a fascinating place with fine accommodations locally. Beautiful beach cities are not far away. Investigate!
