Found in the state of Chiapas along the Usumacinta River, this special Mayan metropolis is referred to by some as “an archeological Shangri-La.” It is highlighted by ancient temples, palaces, stairways, and interesting stone blocks that display a variety of hieroglyphic etchings. This ancient city was built sometime in 350 AD. Be sure to venture into the mysterious Labyrinth where you will see a number of distinctive sculptures.
Edzna is another one of Mexico’s less-famous Mayan cities. It is situated roughly one hour out of the city of Campeche in the Yucatan Peninsula. It was reportedly most active between 400 AD and 1000 AD. This ancient place was once the home of approximately 25,000 citizens. Hike through the property and see the main temple and the ball court.
