The ancient Mayan world centered on the Peninsula of Yucatan, spilling over from the lowland rainforests of Mexico to Belize, climbing up to the Guatemalan highlands through the Pacific coast,  to the eastern edges of Honduras and El Salvador.

The archaeological sites of Mexico and Central America are one of the major reasons for travelers from all over the world to explore this region; not only because of the size and complexity of the ruins, but also because of the amazing architectural art of this ancient culture.

From the massive pre-Columbian ruins of Teotihuacan, over the sacred city of Chichen Itzá and the impressive ruins of Tikal and Copan, to the smaller mysterious sites of Lubaantun and Xunantunich in Belize or Ceibal in Guatemala, the splendor of the archaeological sites of Central America and Mexico will certainly impress and overwhelm you and will be one of the highlights of your trip.
