This sight is one
of the “Seven Wonders of the World” that I can now cross off my bucket list. It
cost M$204 and parking was M$22. It took me about three hours to see it all and
take the photos I wanted. I went early, first in. I almost had the place to
myself, but within two hours it was full of tourist and local vendors selling
their crafts: this changed the feel of the place so more photos needed to be
taken. 
Only about 30
building have been fully restored and to keep them looking good there is no
climbing on any of them. So the walk around is an easy one that allows for
wheel chairs and strollers. Many of the sights I have visited are not as
accommodating. The Mayan people have displayed a talent for building temples and
ceremonial centers, developed an astronomical calendar, predicted solar and lunar eclipses, mathematical concept of zero, and produced the refined hieroglyphic writing system. There are many other accomplishments as artists, historians and road builders. The earliest Mayan settlements date back to around 1800BC. They were and still are an amazing people…
