Description

Tikal, Copán, Uaxactún – ancient Maya cities whose names conjure up romance, mystery, and science all at once. Joyce Kelly’s clear descriptions and captivating photographs of these and many other sites will make you wish to have to pack your bags and head for Central The united states. And when you arrive, this guidebook will not help you down. It covers 38 sites and 25 museums – more than any other guidebook – in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. Kelly’s information is accurate and up-to-the-minute: she has visited each and every site personally. The descriptions include all of the major, well-known sites and many not appearing other guidebooks.

Kelly describes each and every site and museum, from its pyramids and temples to its hieroglyphic stairways and “eccentric flints.” She includes many site plans, and her description of each and every site includes its ancient history in addition to its contemporary archaeological activity.

Equally important, Kelly describes exactly how to get there. Clear maps and precise written directions include the distance (in miles and kilometers) and the driving time required for each and every segment of the travel. If you wish to have a four-wheel-drive vehicle to negotiate rutted dirt roads, Kelly tells you. If you wish to have a guide, she tells you where to find one.
