Pelanque Maya Pyramids




















Pelanque for me was definately the most significant place we explored in Mexico. We hiked all around these maya ruins for three days straight. This place is steaming hot and the stairs to most temples are challenging to hike up but in the end it was all worth it.



This is an amazing place that I think everyone should visit. The feel of these ruins are quite ancient compared to other ruins in Mexico. While walking around the common quarters of pelanque where the workers once lived, Dorian and I felt a strong sense of history.



There are many gringo's who are permanently camping at the campgrounds around Pelanque. Dorian and I can understand why. This place has beautiful jungle, wildlife, history and the artisans who live here make incredible belts, purses and jewelry. We love it here.
