Mayan ruins in Mayapan, in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico
I got permission to fly the ruins as long as I was supervised, and I was closely supervised. My wife, daughter and I were the only ones at the site which made the tour even better. Our guide told us he was a descendant of the Mayans that lived there. He had a lot of knowledge and did a great job of transferring it to us. This is a once in a lifetime video for me, I hope you enjoy it.

Climbing The Mayapan Pyramid of Mayas, Yucatan, Mexico
Visit to check out great information about mysterious and fantastic places on earth. We climbed the Mayapan Pyramid which is also called the Castillo de Kukulcan . It is designed after the Chichen Itza. Mayapan means Flag of the Mayas or Banner of the Mayas .The original sound is just too windy so I replaced it with some other audio. The Mayapan ruins are much better as there is no one around and you are allowed to touch and climb on the structures. Mayapan was the last capital of the Mayas in the Yucatan peninsula. You can also plenty of structures like pillars, columns, an observatory, Frescos, Stucco Carvings and other buildings. Follow Me on:

Mayapan Mayan ruins - Mexico
Mayapan Mayan ruins in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. We visited here in 2013 and will return in 2016.
Mayapan, Yukatan Mexico 1200 AD
Mayapan is a Pre-Columbian Maya site a couple of kilometers south of the town of Telchaquillo in Municipality of Tecoh, approximately 40 km south-east of Mérida and 100 km west of Chichen Itza; in the state of Yucatán, Mexico. Mayapan was the political and cultural capital of the Maya in the Yucatán Peninsula during the Late Post-Classic period from the 1220s until the 1440s. Estimates of the total city population are 15,000–17,000 people, and the site has more than 4,000 structures within the city walls, and additional dwellings outside.
Mayapan is 4.2 square kilometers (about 1.6 square miles) and has over 4000 structures, most of them residences, packed into this compound within the city walls. Built-up areas extend a half kilometer beyond the city walls in all directions. The stone perimeter wall has twelve gates, including seven major gates with vaulted entrances. The wall is 9.1 km (about 5.65 miles) long and is roughly ovate with a pointed northeast corner.
The ceremonial center of the site is located in Square Q of the city's grid in the center of the wider western half of the walled enclosure. The ceremonial center has a tightly packed cluster of temples, colonnaded halls, oratories, shrines, sanctuaries, altars, and platforms (for oration, dancing, or stela display). A.L. Smith, an archeologist with the Carnegie Institute, estimated 10–12,000 people lived within the walled city.
According to Dr. Gregory Simons survey outside the city walls, there were numerous additional dwellings and he revised the total population estimate to between 15,000–17,000 people. His survey results are posted online at mayapanperiphery.net. People living outside of the city wall engaged in agriculture, animal-raising, and specialized activities such as lime production. Russell also found a colonnaded hall outside the city wall, revealing much is still to be discovered regarding the complexity of this urban landscape.
The Temple of Kukulcan, a large pyramid also known as the Castillo, is the main temple in Mayapan. It is located immediately to the east of the Cenote Ch'en Mul, which has caves radiating from it. In form, the Temple of Kukulcan is a radial four-staircase temple with nine terraces; it is generally similar to the Temple of Kukulcan at the earlier site of Chichen Itza. However, the Mayapan temple appears to be an inferior imitation of the one at Chichen Itza, and the city's buildings in general are not constructed as well as those in other Mayan cities. For example, most or all of the vaulted roofs in Mayapan have collapsed, while many of the better-built buildings at Chichen Itza remain intact. Other major temples in the ceremonial center include three round ones, which are unusual for the Maya area and are also linked to the deity Kukulkan/Quetzalcoatl in his wind god (Ehecatl) aspect. Unlike Chichen Itza, Mayapan has no ballcourts.
The extensive residential zones of the site are composed of dwellings and ancillary domestic structures, with those around the ceremonial district larger and of higher quality and those toward the fringes being generally poorer. The houses are often arranged in small patio groups surrounding small courtyards. Houses were built haphazardly without organized streets. Lanes wind among the residences and walls. The residential areas of the site contain many cenotes, perhaps as many as 40. Settlement was the most dense in the southwestern part of the city where cenotes are more numerous.

Recorrido en Mayapán
En este recorrido visitamos la zona arqueológica de Mayapán, que se localiza al Sur del Estado de Yucatán, a tan sólo 45 minutos de la ciudad de Mérida, en la misma dirección de la Ruta de los Conventos. En este sitio podemos encontrar similitudes con las edificaciones que existen en Chichén Itzá, razón por la cual es conocida por muchos como “la pequeña Chichén”, aunque su significado se traduce como “El estandarte (bandera) de los mayas”. Fue fundada por los Cocomes y se cree que Kukulkán, el guerrero-gobernante, es quien habría edificado el templo destinado a la deidad mitológica que lleva el mismo nombre, conocida como la ‘serpiente emplumada’, que en maya se escribe: K’u’uk’um kaan.
Después de ver este recorrido te invitamos a ampliar la información consultando otras fuentes de especialistas e historiadores, a fin de que puedas tener más datos al respecto de esta ciudad y del dios Kukukán.

MAYAPAN! ciudad maya.
Mayapán, el sitio arqueológico, fue una ciudad maya del período clasico tardío. Se localiza en el sur del estado de Yucatán, en México a unos 40 kilómetros de distancia de la ciudad de Mérida, la capital del estado.
Con la derrota del grupo itzá en Chichen Itzá y con su eliminación en el control de Izamal y Hunac Ceel, los itzaes de Mayapán obtienen el control del norte de Yucatán y lo gobiernan de 1200 a 1450 d.C.
La población alcanzó, en su tiempo de mayor apogeo, una población de 12 mil habitantes, según estimaciones arqueológicas. Fue fundada por el grupo cocom, a quienes los expertos asocian con los portadores de lo que se ha dado en llamar cultura Maya-Tolteca.
Mayapán fue sede de la Liga de Mayapán, una confederación que reunía a los caciques de Uxmal y Chichén Itzá. Las disputas por el control de la confederación terminaron con la derrota de los itzáes que gobernaban Chichén, y su huida hacia el Petén, donde fundaron la ciudad de Tayasal. La hegemonía de la liga fue ejercida a partir de ese momento (final del siglo XIII) por los cocomes de Mayapán, aunque con fuerte oposición de los habitantes de los otros reinos mayas de la península. La Liga de Mayapán parece haber sido disuelta hacia el año 1440, cuando los cocomes abandonaron la plaza y se asentaron en Sotuta.
