Mask details

Chichen Itza is probably the most renown Mayan ruins of the Yucatan Peninsula. I found luckily a spot to pitch my tent outside of a guest house in the little "Pueblo" of Piste, a quiet and very friendly place with beautiful and colourful houses.

Chichen Itza
Truly it was an unforgettable experience cause the hordes of tourist there was impressive but I still got to take pictures without many people around the ruins. Piste was super and the local people very friendly. I love both styles but Mayan carvings are my favourite,personally. I am happy to have had the opportunity to visit most of the archeological sites in Mexico,it as very interesting and cultureful.
