Mayské archeologické lokality na Yucatánu

Ancient Mayan Wonders

This collection spans the architectural evolution of the Maya civilization across the Yucatán Peninsula. It features the iconic step-pyramids of Chichen Itza and Uxmal alongside the Puuc-style intricate stone mosaics found at Kabah and Sayil. Beyond surface ruins, the list includes sacred limestone caverns like Loltún and Balankanche, once used for ancient ceremonies, and Mayapan, the last great Maya capital. The Gran Museo del Mundo Maya in Mérida provides modern archaeological context for these historical remnants.
