Deep within the jungles of Mexico
and Guatemala and extending into the limestone shelf of the Yucatan
peninsula lie the mysterious temples and pyramids of the Maya. Few are
more impressive than the remains of Mayan city of Chichen Itza located
between Cancun and Merida.
This incredible sight is a ‘day trip’
must for those on holiday in the Cancun area. While Europe was still in
the midst of the Dark Ages, these amazing people had mapped the heavens,
evolved the only true writing system native to the Americas and were
masters of mathematics.
