The Yucatan Peninsula is at the southern end of
Mexico. Here, we can find many ruins from the
Mayan civilization.

Our first stop in the Yucatan peninsula is Uxmal.

Uxmal means Thrice built and most likely refers
to this pyramid being built 3 times. The Mayan
civilization flourished here between 600-900 AD.
The Pyramid of the Magician is the largest of the
Mayan pyramids.

Our second stop in the Yucatan Peninsula is
Chichen Itza.
This is the Temple of the Warriors. It is a
statue of the God, Chac Mool.
This is Caracol, or Snail. It was used by the
Mayans as an observatory to see the heavens.
This is the ball court at Chichen Itza. Every
Mayan city had at least 1 playing field or ball
court.
Many human sacrifices took place here.
