Mayan Legacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

M\u00e9rida is a charming city. The relics of colonial architecture and its proximity to the Mayan culture give it a unique charm. Fortunately, booking hotels in M\u00e9rida is relatively easy; however, the best alternative is always to reserve your room in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on, and we will tell you how to make the most of your reservation at hotels in M\u00e9rida to get to know this mystical pre-Hispanic culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mysticism of the Mayan culture.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Maya culture was one of the most important Mesoamerican cultures. They inhabited the Yucat\u00e1n Peninsula from time immemorial until the Spanish conquest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The relics of their culture can be found in several archaeological parks. The best known is Chichen Itz\u00e1 because of the serpent that can be observed during the spring equinox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, the Mayan calendar is the most precise in all of humanity. It was based on how the stars move and cyclically influence human life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some anthropologists claim that from very early times, even before the birth of Christ, the Mayas had already managed to handle specific mathematical calculations to determine the orbit of Venus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mayas made essential contributions to architecture, mathematics, topography, textile art, and gastronomy, which have been projected through centuries until today. The Mayan culture is present in parts of Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover the Mayan culture in Yucat\u00e1n.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yucat\u00e1n is one of the most beautiful states in Mexico. Its natural beauty is rich, but part of its excellent tourist success depends on the vestiges of the Mayan culture. Below, we will share the best places to plan your next Mayan tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chichen Itza<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The ancient city of Chichen Itza is located halfway between Cancun and M\u00e9rida. Therefore, staying in hotels in M\u00e9rida is recommended to make the most of this archaeological park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some historians believe that this archaeological site was founded because of its proximity to the Xtoloc cenote, an important subway source of fresh water. If you visit this area, you can see this cenote along the way. This archaeological site is well known for having been selected as one of the 7 new wonders of the world in 2007. Here you can visit 26 Mayan ruins. They are divided into 6 in the Old Chichen section and 20 Mayan ruins in the New Chichen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you visit this park, you should not miss the ancient pyramid \"El Castillo,\" the tallest building on the site. Other noteworthy structures include the Great Ball Court, the Osario Pyramid, and the Temple of the Warriors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calakmul<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is home to one of the highest Mayan temples in the Mexican territory. The best part of visiting this archaeological site is that it is less crowded than Chichen Itz\u00e1. The site has approximately 6,750 ancient structures to be discovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This park is ideal for those who love adventure and challenges since it has a 45-meter pyramid. It is located only 35 kilometers from the Mexican-Guatemalan border and in the jungles of the great Pet\u00e9n basin region. Although Calakmul is a reasonably remote site, it is well worth a visit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Edzn\u00e1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This Maya site is known for its five-level structure that perfectly combines the aesthetics of a pyramid with a palace. Edzn\u00e1 is located in Campeche. The Gran Plaza and the Ball Game are other significant sites within this park you won't want to miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit M\u00e9rida and stay at the K\u00fcn\u00fck hotel.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

M\u00e9rida is a crucial place to visit the Mayan pyramids. The tour can start in Chich\u00e9n Itz\u00e1 and travel around the Yucat\u00e1n peninsula in search of Mayan ruins to visit. The state of Campeche, located within the peninsula, is full of little-known sites that may fascinate you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you are looking for a great start to your Mayan vacation, book your room at K\u00fcn\u00fck, a boutique hotel in M\u00e9rida, and start a complete rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
