Our final archaeological outtake was to the ruins

Our final archaeological outtake was to the ruins at Tulum. Before it was the trendy destination it is today, it was the main seaport for Mayans trading turquoise and jade. ⠀
⠀
They sure know how to pick a good spot to settle! ⠀

After a few days in Merida, we about-faced and settled down in Puerto Morelos for a a little beach time. Perfectly situated between the saturated cities of Cancun and Playa del Carmen, we practically had the place to ourselves! ⠀

Uxmal was @verotorresz and my favorite archaeologi

Uxmal was @verotorresz and my favorite archaeological site in Mexico. A true masterpiece of craftsmanship, it's considered to be the city most representative of Puuc Mayan architecture and home to 20,000+ inhabitants at its height (600-900 AD). ⠀
⠀
It flourished for many hundreds of years before being abandoned and later inhabited by the Spanish. Uxmal is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site and is a must-see in the region! ⠀

On our way to Merida we spent a couple of days in

On our way to Merida we spent a couple of days in the small town of Izamal, known as the "yellow city" because most of its buildings are painted yellow. We took a carriage ride around town from a friendly horse in a cool hat and stayed at an AirBnB that was literally built into the side of a pyramid.⠀

Chichen Itza - need I say more? ⠀ ⠀ Ok, I will

Chichen Itza - need I say more? ⠀
⠀
Ok, I will. Once an important Mayan city, the site was established in the 400s (AD) and was a center of significant political and economic activity for the culture and the de facto capital of the Yucatan peninsula. ⠀
⠀
The large pyramid, "El Castillo", is actually built on top of two other pyramids (Russian-doll style) and has a cenote (water cave) underneath. Recent dredging of the cenote brought up artifacts made of gold and jade in addition to human remains (sacrifices were all the rage back then). ⠀
⠀
This was one of dad's favorite sites of his trip, and it's easy to see why!⠀
