PalenquePalenque is a Mayan site in the state of Chiapas. Preferred by many visitors to the more famous sites, Palenque contains some of the finest examples of Mayan architecture in a dramatic natural setting. In 683 AD, King Pakal was entombed in his magnificent burial chamber here, which lay unspoiled until its discovery in 1952.
TeotihuacánConstructed around 300 AD, this astonishing collection of pyramids was believed to be where the gods created the world. The stone pyramids are built on a massive scale and laid out according to astronomical alignments. In the 14th century, it became a pilgrimage center for the Aztecs.
