Yaxchilan– To get to the Yaxchilan Archeological Zone, take the Palenque-Ocosingo street, 14 km, until the Chancala journey.
At that point take the southern outskirt street to the bypass that prompts Frontera Corozal where this site is found.
We went to the wharf looking for a place to eat however we just found a little store where we purchased just a few milks and some customary sweet breads.
Yaxchilan– We took the little watercraft that would take us to explore on the Usumacinta River until the point that we achieve this superb place covered up in nothingness.
Yaxchilan, Mayan city based on the left bank of the Usumacinta River and created in the vicinity of 350 and 810 AD Notable for the vast number of stone models that incorporate stelae and lintels.
Yaxchilán is the model of a lost city in the focal piece of the Lacandon Jungle.
The Great Acropolis, the Small Acropolis and the South Acropolis, and also structures 12 and 22 emerge because of their significance.
Yaxchilan– In the Great Acropolis there is Building 33, in which there is a delightful peak, a glyphic staircase, engraved lintels and in its inside an executed model that speaks to one of its most imperative rulers: Pájaro Jaguar IV.
A Lacandon legend says that when the leader of the Bird Jaguar comes back to its place the world will be crushed by the heavenly pumas.
Among the high vegetation, we climbed a way to the Small Acropolis. We stroll amidst the tropical wilderness. Yaxchilan– Over our heads a gathering of possibly 10 howler monkeys undermined us …
The sound, amidst the wilderness, is wonderful. One doesn’t envision that they are little creatures.
They look like thunders of cats … grand technique of survival.
Before long a gathering of bug monkeys arrived, scattering the howlers.
Yaxchilan– The arachnid monkeys were tossing us things … seemingly insignificant details, branches, little organic products, to make it clear that they were not content with our quality there.
As of now in the Small Acropolis, in the high piece of the site, we see what recognizes Yaxchilán from the other archeological zones: its lintels designed in high help.
Its type of development is a method. without bond, in view of the gravity and the game plan of each bit of stone.
Yaxchilan– The surface of the city is expansive, yet the visit is restricted to the huge square, known as “The Labyrinth”.
A name got because of the confused dissemination of the rooms in the different structures that permit to see the historical backdrop of this fabulous city; the Acropolis Grande, the little Acropolis and the Acropolis of the south.
Yaxchilan– After entering they offer you extremely sparing guided visits in which they enlighten you concerning Mayan history and legends. We take the little watercraft back to our auto to go to Bonampak
