Chichen Itza's Castillo - Mexico

Chichen Itza's Castillo

La Ruta Maya

I spent two months in Central America in the summer of 2002. I started in Cancun and did the basic Mayan route counter-clock-wise. I travelled Vallodolid, Merida, Uxmal, Palenque, San Cristobal, Chetemal, Tulum, and Playa Del Carmen.

Here is a quick link to places I covered on this trip.
Chichen Itza
San Cristobal de las Casas
Valladolid
Uxmal
Kabah
Sayil
Palenque

Guatemala
El Remate
Antigua de Guatemala
Tikal
Lago Atitlan

Belize
Xunantunich
Cayo District
Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Reserve "Jaguar Reserve"

Pros and Cons

Pros:Interesting Mayan culutre, Friendly People, Easy to travel

In a nutshell:Must See If You are In to Ancient Civilizations and Their Living Legacy
