The Mayan Sacred Sites: Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Palenque, Copán and Tikal

Maya architecture spans many thousands of years; yet, often the most dramatic and easily recognizable as Maya are the stepped pyramids from the Terminal Pre-classic period and beyond.

Chichen Itza was a large pre-Columbian city built by the Maya civilization. The archaeological site is located in the Mexican state of Yucatán. Chichen Itza was one of the largest Maya cities and it was likely to have been one of the mythical great cities, or Tollans, referred to in later Mesoamerican literature.
Uxmal is a large pre-Columbian ruined city of the Maya civilization in the state of Yucatán, Mexico.  Its magnificent pyramids and structures make it a popular tourist destination.
Palenque was a Maya city state in southern Mexico that flourished in the 7th century. After its decline it was absorbed into the jungle, but has been excavated and restored and is now a famous archaeological site attracting thousands of visitors.

Copán is an archaeological site of the Maya civilization located in western Honduras, not far from the border with Guatemala.
Tikal is one of the largest archaeological sites and urban centers of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization. It is located in what is now northern Guatemala.

This Central America trip visits Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras and follows the MAYA route

These countries are rich in nature: beautiful tropical jungles with all kind of wildlife. Hidden in some jungles are magnificent Maya ruins. There are also amazing lakes with volcano's like Lake Atitlan, rivers like the Rio Dulce and majestic waterfalls like Agua Azul and Misol Ha. And not to forget fine beaches with an azure-blue sea and coral riffs.
There are several old colonial cities in Mexico and Guatemala, great places to dwell through the old streets and marvel at the splendid churches and other old buildings.
My favorite old colonial cities are Campeche, San Cristobal and Antigua.
Last but non least the colorful Indian and Mayan girls and women. The today's Mayas have an peculiar blend of Christian beliefs and their old traditions. Like ritual slaughter of chickens in their church, sometimes filled with strange saints and their own folk saint Maximon.
Highlights for me were San Juan and Chichicastenango with their alluring markets.
