Chichen Itza is an ancient city with almost 1000 years of history, one of the greatest Mayan centers of the Yucatán peninsula in Mexico. Many great buildings still stand between the Mayan ruins: the ancient pyramid El Castillo (30 meters/98 feet tall), the Great Ball Court, the Temple of the Warriors, the circular observatory El Caracol and more. Chichén Itzá was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site and also proclaimed to be one of the "New 7 Wonders of the World".

The ruins at Chichén Itzá are the most impressive and famous Maya ruins, but I personally prefer those at Tikal, Copan, and Palenque, which have a much more eerie atmosphere thanks to the surrounding jungle.

The Ancient Maya City-state of Palenque was at its height between 500 and 750 AD. After that Palenque gradually declined and was overgrown by the jungle at the end. Today the Palenque archeological site has well-preserved Mayan ruins and is one of the most famous and visited Maya sites, it is located in the state of Chiapas, Mexico. Palenque is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Yaxchilán & Bonampak are two Maya archeological sites deep in the Lacandon Jungle in the state of Chiapas in Mexico. Yaxchilan (years 350-800) is located on the Usumacinta River, on the border between Mexico and Guatemala. Yaxchilan has a well-known history with at least 19 recorded kings. Bonampak (around 580-800) was a vassal state of Yaxchilan. It is famous for the pre-Columbian painted murals showing the story of the last king of Bonampak (years 790-792).
