Bonampak & Yaxchilan: Hidden Maya Ruins in the Chiapas Jungle

Visit Bonampak with its fascinating murals and high-quality ancient Maya frescoes as the main attractions. The pyramids are surrounded by the colors and sounds of the Jungle of Chiapas called also the Lacandon Forest. Yaxchilán is a splendid setting of an evergreen forest blanketing a magnificent archaeological site famous for its statuary art, stelae, and lintels. The Maya took to building the terrain of a peninsula surrounded by a meandering river.

Your adventure begins with pickup at your hotel with destination to the Corozal Border where you will hop on a boat that will take you to Yaxchilán, known for its large number of architectural structures and inscriptions. There are texts everywhere: on stelae, on altars, on door finials, and on lintels. For the construction of the complex, the Mayans took advantage of the characteristics of the terrain of a peninsula surrounded by a meander of the Usumacinta River.

Is the modern Mayan word for “painted walls,” which perfectly describes this rare, ancient ruin in the rainforest of Chiapas. Three rooms within the main structure at the archaeological site are covered with colorful, vivid murals from top to bottom, including on the arched ceilings.
