The Mayan ruins are witnesses of a whole culture that was beyond amazing. They are located all over Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and other countries in the area. These ancient ruins are probably already on your bucket list but these are the absolute best.

Xunantunich, Belize

Xunantunich is quite a large spot with Mayan ruins that you can spend all day exploring. After you’ve visited Belize, take a short trip from there to this stunning location.

Tikal, Guatemala

According to archaeologists, Tikal used to be the capital city in the time of the Mayans. New ruins continue being discovered around Tikal, which means it’s a must-visit location.

Chichen Itza, Mexico

Everyone who’s been to Mexico always visits Chichen Itza first! It is very close to Cancun, which means you can also enjoy a few days on the beach. The huge El Castillo has 365 steps, one for each day in a year.

Copan, Honduras

The stelae are the main reason why tourists decide to go to Copan. These are stunning stone sculptures of the Mayans and their ancestors. Honduras might sound like a dangerous country to visit, but these days it is much safer.
