#sayil #mexico #puuc #maya #yucatan
Tours:
Sayil was one of the largest mayan cities in the Puuc region around 900 a.c. with a population of more than 10.000 people who were living in wooden homes with a piece of land, giving the whole city the appearance of an endless garden. The big palace is one of the largest mayan palaces with 94 rooms on 3 floors. Today, big parts of Sayil are still buried in the djungle, but the palaces found and restored are breathtaking.

Visitmex Vive México Visit Mexico Located in southeastern Mexico on the Yucatan Peninsula. Borders the states of Campeche and Quintana Roo. Yucatan has a hot and humid climate. During your stay, you can visit the state capital, Merida, where you can take a stroll down Paseo Montejo, the city's main avenue, which is lined with beautiful palaces, old buildings and 19th-century mansions. All that and much more makes the so-called White City one of the most visited destinations in the country. In the surrounding areas, you can visit old henequen haciendas, many of which have been converted into luxurious hotels with museums, restaurants and spa services.
You can also visit the town of Valladolid, where you'll find numerous sinkholes (ponds connected by underground streams), the ideal spots to go swimming or cave diving. There's also the magical town of Izamal, where you can check out the magnificent Ex-Convent of San Antonio de Padua, which has the largest atrium in the Americas.
In this state you can also visit the interesting Mayan archaeological zones, such as Uxmal, Kabah, Labna, Sayil, Dzibilchaltun and the impressive ceremonial grounds of Chichen Itza, which was declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO. Among the notable sights there are the Observatorio (Observatory), also known as the Caracol, the Juego de Pelota (Ball Court) and the Piramide de Kukulcan (Pyramid of Kukulcan), where you can witness the shadow image of a plumed serpent descend on the pyramid's stairs every spring equinox.

Yucatan of Mexico by Adventure Motorcycle
I spent a week riding an adventure motorcycle (a modified DR650) around the Yucatan peninsula on a guided trip with Ko'oX Moto. We visited the Mayan ruins of Edzna, Uxmal, Kabah, and Sayil, we swam in too many cenotes to count and lastly, we visited the LolTun caves. The Yucatan peninsula of Mexico was amazing!

Chicanna Mayan Ruins Yucatan Peninsula
Chicanna means house of the snakes jaws and is best known for one remarkably well preserved doorway with a hideous fanged visage. Chicanna is a mixture of Chenes and Rio Bec architectural styles that is still buried in the jungle.
Xlapak, Yukatan Mexico 800 AD
Xlapak is a small Maya archaeological site in the Yucatan Peninsula of southeastern Mexico. It is located in the heart of the Puuc region, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) from the archaeological site of Labná and a similar distance from Sayil, lying directly between the two sites. It consists of three main groups in a valley of the Puuc Hills in Yucatán State, a region of karst limestone forming the only major topographical feature of the peninsula. The site dates from the Late to Terminal Classic periods and was sited in an area suitable for agriculture.
The site core is located in the flat valley bottom, while in the surrounding hills the remains of perishable structures have been found. The main feature of Group 1 is the Palace, which consists of nine rooms with decorated facades. Another palace is located in Group 2, it is decorated with columns. The architecture is an example of the ostentatious style of the Classic or Fluorescent Puuc, in common with the nearby sites of Sayil, Labna, Kabah, and Uxmal. Typical of this style are the highly decorated upper portions of the buildings that extend above the ceiling height. The decorations at Xlapak are well preserved and include masks of the Yucatec Maya rain god Chaac.
yacimiento arqueológico de Sayil, Yucatán, México
Una visita al yaciemiento arqueológico maya de Sayil, ubicado en el municipio de Santa Elena, estado de Yucatán, México. Este sitio forma parte de la ruta Puuc y pertenece al periodo clásico terminal del los maya. En esta ocasión éramos los únicos en todo el sitio. Fue maravilloso.
A visit to the Mayan archaeological site of Sayil, located in the Santa Elena Municipality, Yucatan State, Mexico. This site forms part of the Puuc Route and was active in the post-classic period. On this occasion we were the only ones at the site. It was awesome.
Zona arqueológica de SAYIL Mexico Ruta Puuc
Sayil ruta Puuc Al igual que Uxmal y Kabah, Sayil es una de las tres ciudades mayas más extensas y complejas de la región del Puuc. #jesusagrario #JesúsSaizGarcia
Sayil, Yucatán. Zona arquelógica.
Literalmente significa “Lugar de las hormigas arrieras”. En la lengua maya, la palabra say se utiliza para referirse a esta especie de insectos que acostumbra cortar y llevar trozos de hojas. En contraste con la mayoría de nombres conocidos para sitios prehispánicos, éste podría tener una verdadera antigüedad.
Sayil y Uxmal, fueron declarados, simultáneamente, Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad, por la UNESCO, el año de 1996.
Sus construcciones son muchas y muy variadas, desde palacios con 99 habitaciones y techos de piedra; hasta casas pequeñas para familias pequeñas. Las viviendas se encuentran segmentadas en cinco grupos, algunos ubicados en el norte, otros en el centro, otros más en el sur, y algunos más en el noroeste y suroeste; algunas de piedra y mampostería y otras más de palma y palos.
Al igual que en Labná y en Kabáh, aquí también hay un gran edificio de nombre El Palacio, que también fue la residencia de la clase gobernante; el resto de los pobladores se habría distribuido en las cercanias de tal construcción según el estrato social en el que se encontraran.
De Sayil generalmente sólo se menciona una estructura: el Palacio Norte, derruido parcialmente en sus tres niveles. La ciudad es muy grande, pero son pocos los espacios que se pueden visitar debido a que una tupida vegetación crece alrededor y sobre las ruinas.
El fechamiento de la ocupación de Sayil se basó en un número limitado de fechas jeroglíficas (810 d.C. para la estela 6) y en los estudios de cerámica. La gran mayoría pertenece al complejo cerámico Cehpech, que se ubica entre 800-1000 d.C. De un dintel del Gran Palacio se obtuvo una fecha por radio carbono 14 es de 730 + 80 d. C.
Adicional a El Palacio se encuentra también El Mirador, el cual cuenta en su parte más alta con un templo desde donde se puede observar la ciudad, es ahí donde puede notarse la manera en que se encontraba distribuida. Muy cerca de aquí se encuentra lo que en su momento fue un mercado y el juego de pelota.
El sitio de Sayil está localizado en la sierra de roca caliza de la región Puuc, en la península de Yucatán. Se encuentra 7 km al sur del yacimiento de Kabáh, a 5 km de Xlapak y a 5 km de Labná.
El yacimiento fue traído a la atención de Europa y los Estados Unidos de América, por John Lloyd Stephens y Frederick Catherwood, quienes visitaron el lugar en 1841, y publicaron su famosa descripción ilustrada, en 1843, en el libro Incidentes del viaje a Yucatán, en donde se refirieron a la ciudad, con el nombre de Zayi.

Uxmal Yucatan archaeological site
Uxmal archaeological site, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.
Uxmal was one of the largest cities of the Yucatan Peninsula, and at its height was home to about 25,000 Mayans. Like the other Puuc sites, it flourished from 600-900 A.D. The name Uxmal means 'thrice-built' in Mayan, referring to the construction of its highest structure, the Pyramid of the Magician. The Pyramid of the Soothsayer, as the Spaniards called it, dominates the ceremonial center. Its rulers are said to have presided over the nearby settlements of Kabah, Labna and Sayil, considered the pinnacle of Mayan art and architecture.

Maya Complex Kabah Yucatan Mexico
Kabah was inhabited by the mid 3rd century BC. Most of the architecture now visible was built between the 7th century and 11th centuries AD. A sculpted date on a doorjamb of one of the buildings gives the date 879, probably around the city's height. Another inscribed date is one of the latest carved in the Maya Classic style, in 987. Kabaah was abandoned or at least no new ceremonial architecture built for several centuries before the Spanish conquest of Yucatán.
The most famous structure at Kabah is the Palace of the Masks, the façade decorated with hundreds of stone masks of the long-nosed rain god Chaac; it is also known as the Codz Poop, meaning Rolled Matting, from the pattern of the stone mosaics. This massive repetition of a single set of elements is unusual in Maya art, and here is used to unique effect.
