Uncovering Mayan Mysteries
Palenque ranks among the most significant Mayan sites, a vast city in the misty rain forests of Chiapas of which only 10 percent has been excavated. In addition to their cities being physically lost beneath the jungle, for centuries the Mayan culture was a mystery as well. When you visit Palenque, however, Will Kiburz will arrange for a guide who will bring the history of the Maya to life and explain the latest theories about this ancient civilization.
