Uxmal isn't as old as Pelanque so the architecture is more modern and the pyramids contain more art. We call these pyramids the White House of the Maya world. We felt the ruins presented order and a political importance.
Dorian and I hiked down a dirt path to other ruins that were less visited. We then found ourselves underneath one of the pyramids and found hidden burial rooms. We love to go off the tourist path and find uncovered ruins.
Although these ruins are amazing this sight is very touristy. We camped in the parking lot and noticed they even offered a light show at night. There aren't any cheap accommodations here only two hundred a night hotel rooms. We were not on the backpackers track anymore but we enjoyed learning more about the mayan existence.
