Mexica Travel

-->

Everything about CBD. Typically view about Mexico enough gloomy-Rocky desert heat, cacti, and among them some scary faces in Sombrero, constantly drinking tequila and under istošnye screams "Kar-r-r-Ramba!!!" sporadically torrid in God's light. Yet a mariachi with guitars and burning Brunettes, fractional otkolačivaûŝie their kablučkami flamenku to local macho. What to say-our bow by Hollywood. Surely there are such places in Mexico, in each tale of truth. But we drive on the Yucatán peninsula in the South, where none of the above steps do not. But there's a sea of color Marengo with reefs and nesčitannym of exotic fish, the most ancient cities of Mayan civilization, beautiful and mysterious and gorgeous nature. The most famous place in Yucatán, of course, Cancun is one of the most visited tourist resorts of the world. Twenty years ago Cancun was normal fishing hamlet at the tip of the peninsula, while on coastal dunes began building chic hotels. As a result of villages nothing left but a Mexican Atlantic City. Because of its accessibility by American tourists, Cancun quickly turned into a place where people rides mostly come off. Another thing-Maya Riviera. If ride from Cancun down, start not much untapped tourism industry sites, which are called Majânskoj Riviera. Along the coast, with mostly Rocky are sandy lagoons, which are an ideal place to swim. Fine white sand, calm waters and easy cool breeze from the ocean, lazily kolyšuŝij branches growing along the banks of coconut trees, creating a complete feeling of paradise. Add to that chain reef starting metres in fifteen from the shore, complete thickets of coral and marine life, including sea turtles, and you want to live there forever. Majânskoj Riviera technically called narrow coastal strip, which stretches from Cancún to Tuluma. Beginning it not from Cancun, kilometers through 30-40 when you leave the vesele place. Tulum is Cancún at a distance of 120 km, and it is the border of the Riviera. Think not from what further South no lagoons with beaches, and just because there has not yet reached civilization. In a sense, is not reached. It is clear from Cancún to Tuluma even more than enough places that you can fill. When asked where the Yucatán are Maya sites, response to give easily-everywhere. It was so densely populated by the territory that wherever you went, traces of these cities. Down from Cancun to the South is good Federal Highway, about which I wrote. Is it by Akumalâ, where we stopped and keep below, go to Tulumu, one of the most visited majânskih sites. Actually this site if it in terms of architecture, a little interesting, but it is situated in a picturesque place and most importantly, is easily accessible from Cancun. Perhaps this is due to its popularity. Below Tuluma lies one of the most ancient cities of majânskih, Mujil, but his visits so small number of people that can be considered that this website neposeŝaem. If the same ride from Tuluma Northwest, kilometers of fifty are old town Koba-researchers, one of the largest cities of Maya. Main Maya cities are not located in the South, and West of Cancún. On the opposite side of the peninsula lies the city of Mérida, Yucatán capital. Halfway from Cancún to Mérida are interesting, albeit famous site Balam, and famous Chichen Itza pyramid of Kukul′kana, with its temples of Jaguar and warriors, Observatory and other buildings, no photos which is promotional material about Mexico. The first site to which we headed was Tulum. Drove almost immediately after have rent a car. Time has not yet exceeded noon and we have in stock was at least five hours, and Tulum is not the site you want more. Tulum is one of the most visited MayaTulum hits. But it is located in a picturesque place on the ocean, on a rocky coast, and this combination makes it unique. If you were in the Crimea and remember swallow's nest with lock, standing on the edge of a high cliff, the picture will be familiar-on a rocky cliff is a neat, pyramid, and there are other buildings around it. In General, oddly enough, big cities on the coast of Maya not built. They were in the depth of the continent, in the jungle, while on the beach were only small settlements. So, Tulum was the only major settlement on the shores of the ocean. He is interesting. Another fact was that Tulum was practically the only city Maya that Spaniards found in health. All other cities at the time of the beginning of the conquest were thrown and managed at the jungle. So, Tulum. Twenty minutes drive from the hotel on the highway, and we take the road, before entering the character Zona arceologicala archaeological zone. Three hundred Meters on it-and we reach parking. Pay 20 pesos, get a ticket from ulybčivogo boy in the cabin and are looking for a place potenistee. Entrance to site is charged on all archaeological sites in Mexico, in whatever the wilderness they are. That it is forbidden to do, so this produce photos and video with the tripod. Buying input channel, we stepped on the road leading to the site. Immediately at the road leading to the site, there was a group of three majânskih boys dressed in clothing that should make believe that this is the same Maya, which meet Spaniards, first landed on the beach. Writing "dressed", I did too much exaggeration because guys generally were half-clothed (as Indians, presumably). They were loincloths from a piece of fabric, napominavšej handkerchief, and on the head of the nahlobučeny any fur hats, Jaguar's affluence utykannye feathers. One of them hands tied even whole wings and he raspravlâl them, portraying the Eagle. U guys was stupid absolutely view-maybe because they too were included in the role can outfit was too butaforskij. How many years the local licedeâm, I never understood. Maya generally look very strange to our European opinion. They moderate growth, tight, without any hint of the neck. They as if carved from a single čurbana rezinopodobnogo tree. Their lazy days and nesuetlivy, and it seems that rotating head, he rotated around the trunk. As I thought they are similar in their movements by penguins. They have amazingly smooth skin, elastic and smooth. Beards and moustaches they grow, and they look very young. Another distinctive feature-they are very calm and dobrodušny, and the person they rarely overshadowed by some bitter formal memoranda, and wrinkles is much less than those of us-they are considerably younger. On the one hand, it's all about them both about short people, on the other hand, is one of the most handsome of the people I met. Feature Tuluma that actually this is the last city of the Maya. With it when all the previous capital and the city, which held the greatness of Mayan civilization were abandoned and overgrown jungle. Built in Touloum can be compared in size to those we met in other majânskih cities-they look just number compared to them. It all looks like remnants of majânskoj nobility, discarded as a result of the collapse of the Empire on the coast, for generations degraded, but seeking to retain its former greatness, tried to replicate what saw their ancestors. Naturally, it is something very similar, but not before. A small copy of the replica. We Went from one of the most recent. What I was expecting to see here? You never can tell. I was in Touloum before, but then it was just study tour. Now I feel place feel like it, try some for yourself, as if I lived in it. Leaving from the site, I ask myself-"well, what?"-and mentally summed up what they had seen. It was the city that the Mayan civilization had quite distant attitude. This was the city of what should be the rest of the city, if people have built them for themselves. Palaces in which to live comfortably. Pyramid, the presence of which you want to, but at the same time, neither construction nor its exploitation does not require any serious effort. From here we went in Chichen-Itcu. Chichen Itza is the most visited majânskim site. Firstly, it really strikes its buildings, well restored. Generally, Chichen Itza was not a purely majânskim site, she symbiosis of two cultures-majânskoj and tol′tekskoj. The Chichen Itza was an important centre of majânskoj civilization, and culminated in a typical majânskij city. The part was the "majânskogo" sector, known as "old Chichen-Itcej". However, after the invasion toltecs soon, prohodimec, uverâvšij, that he is the living embodiment of the God Kukul′kana-feathery serpent, the city was built, it adds a new, "tol′tekskaâ" part, and soon, thanks to militancy toltecs soon, he got an absolute power over all Ûkatanom. That was then, but the city was left, came into decay, and soon in place of the powerful Centre Empire only ruins of the former greatness. Those installations, photos contain virtually all tourist brochures, and for which tourists visiting Chichen-Itcu belong specifically to the tol′tekskoj part tol′te Ka. From the old part of the most famous object is only Observatory. Pyramid of Kukul′kana a site and all majânskoj culture. Stairway built under angle so that when you're standing on the pyramid, it seems that you're standing at the edge of a cliff. Žutkovato, and to the edge of the area make yourself. Other lûbopytnejšim building in Chichen-Uetze is a playground for ball games. It has a very different dimensions than the ones we've seen on other sites. It is much more. Any other-it is at least twenty meters, with two sides surrounded by high walls, absolutely right at the top of which approximately 5 meters attached rings through which should have probrosit′ the ball from the rubber. The probrasyvat′ should appear only thighs. Another interesting object is the so-called Observatory. Maya are known for their phenomenal calendar and their least phenomenal experience in astronomy. Apparently, so scientists have decided that if the round tower with spiral stairs leading up, recalls its view modern Observatory, is also an ancient Observatory, from which the priests were watching the sky. However, in my opinion, because the roof off the construction of round and resembles modern Observatory, it does not follow that this Observatory and priests something observed.http//happytravel.xanga.com
