The Mayan city of Chichen Itza was built on this peninsula (7)

I believe the answer is:

yucatan

(Other definitions for yucatan that I've seen before include "Mayan area of Mexico" , "Alcoholic drink" , "Mexican peninsula where Mayas lived" , "part of Mexico" , "Region of Mexico" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
