Uxmal

Our third and last ruin visit in Mexico was the one that really impressed us the most. Uxmal consists of fascinating and well preserved structures that were settled around 600 AD. For unknown reasons, it was abandoned 300 years later.

The most impressive structure is a 39 meters high pyramid like temple with rounded edges. It is also the the first building that you see when entering the area. Even though it is not permitted to climb this building we were able to climb the 32 meters high "Great Pyramid", providing spectacular views of the surrounding ruins.
