Abstract

We will visit the Mayan city of Mayapan, and the incredible cenotes of Santa Barbara in Homun where we will also enjoy a delicious Yucatecan meal.

Overview

It was founded by the cocom group, whom experts associate with the bearers of what has been called the Maya-Toltec culture. The city of Mayapán was built in the likeness of Chichén Itzá. Its main buildings are a copy of the capital of the Itzáes. The construction style incorporated elements of the architecture of central Mexico, combined with features inherited from the ancient Mayan cities.

Mayapan

The walled city of Mayapan is considered the last great capital of the Post-Classic Maya culture (1200-1450 A.D.) The name derives from the words Mayab, which was the name of the Yucatan Peninsula before the conquest; Ma, which is the negative “no;” Ya’ab, much, abundant; and Pan, referring to flag or standard. The resulting name is translated as “Flag of the Maya.”
