\"Los<\/p>\n

A multi-destination holiday in Central America is synonymous with great weather, spectacular beaches, lush nature and, of course, culture and tradition. The Central American sites<\/strong> of Mayan origin are an absolutely unique sight you\u2019ll remember for a lifetime. Ready to discover some of them? Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n

Guatemala, the cradle of the Maya civilisation<\/h3>\n

The main areas of settlement and expansion of the Mayan culture<\/strong> were located in southern Mexico, Honduras, Belize, El Salvador and, of course, Guatemala.<\/p>\n

It is here that we find one of the best representatives of this ancient culture: Tikal, located in the Pet\u00e9n Department in the north of the country, with over 3000 groups<\/strong> of ruins that constitute the largest megapolis of the Mayan world. The very same Pet\u00e9n Department is also home to La Danta… (La Danta is not located in Tikal; they are different places). Among these groups of ruins is La Danta, considered the largest pyramid in the world in terms of combined height and width.<\/p>\n

Belice<\/h3>\n

To the east of Guatemala, Belize also offers interesting ruins<\/strong>, although not quite as many as in neighbouring Guatemala and Mexico. It features 600 groups of ruins such as Xunantunich, Cahel Pech or Lamanai, as well as the Caracol Archaeological Site, the largest of the Maya civilisation, located in Belize.<\/p>\n

El Salvador<\/h3>\n

To the southwest of Guatemala<\/a>, this is one of the countries with the most important Mayan ruins.<\/strong> Tazumal, featuring the highest pyramidal structure in the country, Joya de Cer\u00e9n and San Andr\u00e9s are also worthy representatives of the cultural offerings.<\/p>\n
