Tikal Ruins: North of Guatemala City

Tikal Ruins: North of Guatemala City

North of Guatemala City lay the Tikal Ruins, the site of what was once a cultural Mecca of ancient times. The great dynasties of Tikal included some of the most famed of kings as well as several queens too.

In 1979, Tikal National Park was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site for the many offerings that it gave to the world. The technology, the architecture, the very atmosphere are the best reasons that Tikal ruins should be on your list of places to visit in Mayan territory.

Exploring the Mayan Ruins

Exploring the Mayan Ruins

One of the most magical trips that you could possibly take is a trek to visit the mystical Mayan ruins. Built by civilizations as old as time itself, the Mayan ruins offer you a step backward into time.

The cities of the Mayans may be abandoned now, but they still hold vast lessons and ancient mysteries yet to be uncovered in the Mayan ruins. Their cities of stone have been emptied in the past, refilled and then emptied again. The history of the Mayans is generally divided. Three time spans are recognized; the Pre-classic, the Class, and the Post Classic Periods are those that are generally dealt with historically.

Chichen Itza Ruins

Chichen Itza Ruins

The most renowned of the Mayan ruins, the Chichen Itza ruins are famed for their amazing architecture as well as for the legends that surround the area. Chichen Itza literally means at the Mouth of the Well. The well of course refers to the sacred well nearby, where it is said that sacrifices of gold, silver, precious stones, as well as humans were sent into the well.

One legend says that those who are sent into the well as a sacrifice will have the power of prophesy if they live. When one group were sent into the well and none survived, an ancient ruler cast himself into the well and upon arising from it unscathed, prophesied his own rise to power.
