A Farewell to the Maya

Shreesh

At Copan

A major phase comes to an end – Santo Domingo vs. Maya Ruins

For the past few months we have been exploring the ruined cities of the Maya. Quirigua and Copan, which grew in splendid isolation, were the last of the major sites that we visited. Hopefully our obsession with this corner of archaelogy did not bore you all too much 🙂

As a farewell I present this photo essay contrasting the beautifully maintained, but slightly Disneyesque ruins of the Santo Domingo church in Antigua, with the ultimate Maya sites we visited.
