Maya Art and Architecture in Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras

Maya Art and Architecture in Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras





Approach Guides are downloadable cultural travel guidebooks that take an in-depth look at key sites and draw connections among their history, art, and architecture.

This Approach Guide to Maya Art and Architecture covers 12 sites: five sites in Mexico (plus four Mexican sites that influenced or were influenced by the Maya), three in Guatemala, and one in Honduras.

For each profiled site, this guide walks you through what is most important from an artistic and architectural standpoint. Packed with detailed explanations and an expansive catalog of high resolution photos, it is focused on providing the information culturally-oriented travelers need to understand what characteristics make each site unique and how these fit into the larger Maya universe. To afford you a complete understanding, this guide even profiles non-Maya sites â€" that influenced or were influenced by the Maya â€" that are critically important for appreciating how the Maya fit into Mesoamerican civilization as whole.

We hope you enjoy what we believe is a totally unique cultural guide to some of the best Maya sites and wish you a wonder-filled cultural experience!
