Maya: Ancient Metropolis

Chichen Itza is the last great vestige of Maya domination in Mesoamerica, yet no one knows the precise origins of the city.

When you first see Teotihuacan, its size and grandeur are immediately striking, an impression the Aztecs must have also had when they rediscovered the city in the 14th century.

Tikal is one of the most sumptuous Mayan city-states, with its pyramid temples built in a matter of years and its legendary kings.
