Il programma nel dettaglio

As a backbone the chain of hills called Puuc in mayan crosses the Yucatan Peninsula. There, on the red and fertile land, the Maya built many of their cities and flourished for centuries. In Uxmal, the largest and most impressive, the ancient Maya architectural reached sublime levels in an effort to communicate with the gods. In Kabah, a prayer in stone, a temple dedicated to Chaak, the god of rain and sustainer of life, rises as a silent witness of a time of splendor.

In Uxmal, the largest and most impressive, the ancient Maya architectural reached sublime levels in an effort to communicate with the gods. In Kabah, a prayer in stone, a temple dedicated to Chaak, the god of rain and sustainer of life, rises as a silent witness of a time of splendor.


On arrival we visit to Kabah archaeological site. Kabah is a Maya city dedicated to the cult of the God of Water. Its main temple is composed of numerous faces of this god as a kind of prayer in stone. Chaak the god of water was the most revered in this region where water is scarce and the only way to get it was through the rain.


Next we visit Uxmal archaeological site. Uxmal is one of the most beautiful archaeological sites in Mexico. Many of its buildings are unique examples of architectural refinement: the Quadrangle of the nuns, the Governor's palace, the Temple of the magician. To visit Uxmal is something that cannot missed in a trip to the Mayan world.
