Colorful paintings of Bonampak ruins in Lacandon jungle

I still remember when I was sitting in a van from colorful Bonampak ruins back to Palenque, kind of jumping through Lacandon jungle because of the holes on the road and trying to write this post. Not easy. But I still remember it as if it was yesterday. I had an amazing experience in Mexico […]

I visited the best archaeological sites in Mexico – which pyramids are worth visiting?

If there is one thing I’ve always considered orgasmic, it is the history of Mexico. I have been fascinated by the archaeological sites in Mexico and the Aztec, Maya, Olmec, Tolteca, Mixteca tribes and all the other native Indians living in the Mesoamerica. I’ve been obsessed with those cultures since I started studying Spanish which […]

Yaxchilan ruins in Lacandon jungle

Once we explored Bonampak ruins, we continued 21 km to Yaxchilan, another Maya archaeological site in the jungle with the meaning of green stones in Maya. To get to Yaxchilan you take a boat (called lancha in Mexican Spanish) at the village Frontera Corozal for around 50 minutes. The river is called Usumacinta and separates […]

Mayan ruins of Coba

Location and History of Mayan ruins of Coba Just 44 km from Tulum ruins (the only Mexican ruins on the beach), another Mayan settlement used to stand. Coba in English and Cobá in Spanish means ruffled waters in Maya because of a couple of lakes very close. Due to the found pottery, we suppose that […]

A crazy ass walking through Tulum ruins

When I still lived in the Southern Italy, my flatmate kept on talking about Tulum. He visited Mexico before and spent a day visiting Tulum ruins and the beach and loved it (and he is not a beach person at all.) So I was actually really looking forward to visiting Tulum when I came to […]

Monte Albán and the origins of Oaxaca town

During my visit to Oaxaca state, when I stayed in the Hotel Aitana, I could not miss the archeological zone just 6 km from the centre of Oaxaca, Monte Albán. In Europe we do not really know about it, which is bad because it was very important as the capital of the Zapotec civilization and […]

At Guachimontones pyramids in Jalisco, Mexico

I bet 99% of you have never heard of the so called Guachimontones situated in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. For my shame, I was one of you as well just a little time ago. Even many people of Jalisco who live close to Guachimontones do not know the place exists. And it is only […]
