Uxmal is about 70 km from the capital of Yucatan state, which ocmpone most of the peninsula of the same name, at some point in the history of Mexico was severed part of that peninsula to make way for an indigenous area attached the Atlantic ocean which is called Quintana Roo, where ica hub now that tourism is called "Riviera Maya". Uxmal archaeological zone and is known throughout the world because some of its constructs have been promoted as symbols of the Mayan ruins, so for example, the temple or pyramid of "guess" that has UNPOC rounded corners, appears in many images that refer to the Mayan region of southeastern Mexico.The area as the rest of the peninsula and the area of yucatanica Peten in Guatemala, is beautiful and huge, it took many days, weeks, to visit some of the places have been opening up the public, and even longer if want to know some that are still neglected by idustria tourism.regrettable, extremely unfortunate from my point of view, is that when taken as a tourist targets is degraded much of its value as a basis for understanding a culture and a past, so, for example, shows that pretend to hoodwink televiseros tourists I refer now to the sound and light show, make these places in television spots as frivolous and superficial as travel packages that promise to visit 10 areas in 5 days by paying a few dollars.If you can, go on your own, find out how to do it, take the time to explore and learn at the same time travelers who are in the head rather than spots travel agency, find fascinating things ..
