2,000 years before our time, this civilisation which stood out due to its great wisdom and expressed itself through sun-worshipping, has left its mark with pyramids which served as tombs for its kings. Next stop the Yucatan, Mexico, and its Mayan remains, in 5 can\u2019t-miss stops.<\/span>
In the far-eastern part of the country, the Yucatan State proudly displays the age-old marks of one of the greatest pre-Columbian civilisations: the Mayans. Even if their territory stretched beyond the current borders of Mexico, it is in the Yucatan where the most impressive remains are preserved, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

1. Uxmal \u2013 intact<\/h3>\n

Situated in the north-west of the\u00a0<\/span>Mexican province<\/a>, the site known as\u00a0<\/span>Uxmal<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>is intriguing due to its state of preservation. Its ancient ruins are more than 1,000 years old, yet they feature\u00a0<\/span>architectural details<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>which are still preserved.<\/p>\n

From the fa\u00e7ades of its\u00a0<\/span>Palace of the Governors<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>to the sides of its pyramid, you\u2019re drawn in and captivated. You almost feel as though you\u2019re in the presence of the thousands of souls who once lived in the city-state. Explorers will get the chance to meet\u00a0<\/span>Chaac<\/strong>, the serpent deity of the rain. His head is depicted in numerous places around the city.<\/p>\n

Off the beaten track in the middle of a tropical forest on the Guatemalan border,\u00a0<\/span>Calakmul<\/strong>\u00a0is the least visited Mayan site in the country thanks to its remote location.

Once at the top of the impressive main building, a sea of green spreads out before you, the second largest\u00a0<\/span>jungle<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0<\/span>South America<\/a>\u00a0after the Amazon.

3. Chichen Itza \u2013 emblematic<\/h3>\n

In the region\u2019s north, you get to\u00a0<\/span>Chichen Itza<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>to find yourself in a familiar place. You already know this site without ever having set foot there. Why?\u00a0<\/span>El Castillo<\/strong>, its pyramid that, because of being highlighted by thousands of guides and appearing in all of the documentaries on the subject, has ended up becoming the symbol of Mexican\u00a0<\/span>Mayan heritage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But again, nothing is as good as the real experience. Enormous and imposing, the building was constructed in homage to the Mayan calendar. At its base, the ball game area recalls the civilisation\u2019s thirst for human sacrifice. The losers of the game were offered to the god\u00a0<\/span>Quetzalcoatl<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>(the celebrated feathered Serpent), master of the place and omnipresent figure.<\/p>\n
