Caracol: On the island of Cozumel
near Punta Celerain Faro, El Caracol is a small shrine/tomb situated on
the south point of the island. Conch or Caracol shells are
built into the dome and are said to sound when the wind blows in
a certain direction.

Castillo: Castillo Real
translates to the "Royal Castle." A mayan site on the
northeast side of the island of Cozumel, the castle majestically
faces the turquoise blue Caribbean.
The Castillo structure includes a lookout tower, the base of a
pyramid and a temple with two chambers. This famous Castillo
Pyramid is recognized worldwide. |

Chacmool:
This is a fine example of a Chacmool from
the Valley of Mexico, has a rain-god mask, rain-god symbolism in
the amulet around his neck, and death elements on the feet -
aspects of fertility and the life cycle. |
 |
Chichen Itza:
One of the most
popular sites in the
Yucatán
and a reflection of the amazing
skill of Mayan engineering calculations, mathematical precision
and placement. Pyramid Kukulcan
is the tallest of the Chichen Itza Structures and allows a view from the top
of the pyramids of Ek Balam and Coba. During the Spring
and Fall equinoxes, (March 21 & Sept 21) the setting sun creates
shadows down the steps of the pyramid that resemble a snake
descending. |
|
Labna:
One of the best examples of a Mayan arch,
Labna is located in the "Puuc" hills in the
Yucatán.
Starting form the end of the Classic Period (circa A.D. 900),
this structure exemplifies the architectural style of the area.
|
 |
Punta Molas: Punta Molas Faro, the
lighthouse located at the North end of the island of Cozumel, is
a colorful, detailed view of a typical Mayan Rivera costal
scene. |
|
Tulum: Located 131 kilometers south of Cancun, just 20 minutes
south of Akumal on Hwy. 307. Monumental white stone structures facing the
turquoise sea are impressive
and powerful. Known as the "Walled City", Tulum was thought to
be one of the most important cities of the ancient Mayan during
its time. Fresco remnants are still visible inside some of the
structures. This work is a detailed panoramic view of this Mayan
retreat. Tulum is a popular place for weddings. |
|
Temple of IxChel:
This temple is a religious shrine and derives it's name from the
Mayan fertility goddess IxChel. This precise structure is located on
the island of Cozumel near the north shore at the San Gervasio
site. |
