Another motorcycle travel adventure channel? I am a Guatemalan who has been a Canadian citizen for 25 years. Starting in 2006 I began to explore my Maya Quiche heritage and culture. In 2012 I journeyed to Guatemala to complete my training as a Mayan Aj'qij, something like a Mayan priest. I travelled to 20 sacred sites during this quest. I performed fire ceremonies at Takalik Abaj (an ancient Mayan ruin) to herald the new era, the 13th Baktun, that year. Now, I have decided to return to Guatemala to further explore the people, land and culture that is my heritage. Travelling around the Maya world on my Italika DM 250 motorcycle, Lady Kawoq, I will introduce you to the Maya people, their food, their culture, their spirituality and much more. Join me in this great adventure. I hope you enjoy it!
Calakmul Part 2. Exploring with Axel and Mohamed
I continue with my exploration of the Maya site of Calakmul joined by Axel and Mohamed, who are tourists from France. I met them at my hotel in Conhuas the day before and we decided to tour the site together. I hope you enjoy the tour with us!

Part 1. I am on the road again. I am travelling to the small town of Conhuas in Campeche, where I will stay the night before riding Lady Kawoq down the difficult 60 kms or so to the Maya site of Calakmul. This site was very important in the Maya world and was inhabited from the Early Pre-Classic until its collapse in the late 9th or early 10th Century. Calakmul has one of the tallest pyramids, ...
Xpujil, Campeche, MX
มุมมอง 12714 วันที่ผ่านมา
I arrive at Xpujil where I am forced to stay a day longer than I intended. This works out, though, since there is a very nice archaeological site right at the edge of town. This site is related to the Rio Bec site, which is nearby and exhibits its peculiar architectural style, that includes "false temples." Well, you'll have to watch the video to see what that means. My next stop is Calakmul.
Hochob and Tabasqueno, Campeche, MX
มุมมอง 6621 วันที่ผ่านมา
Today I'm visiting two sites near Dzibalchen in Campeche, Mexico, Hochob and Tabasqueno. These are small Puuc sites occupied mainly in the Late Classic Maya period, about 800 AD. There isn't much left at either site, but I enjoyed the visit and the motorcycle ride through the countryside. From here, I will be moving on to Xpujil, and then to Calakmul.
Visiting the House of the Itzas
มุมมอง 13828 วันที่ผ่านมา
Today I am in Edzna, which is the House of the Itzas. These were the dominant Maya people in the Late Classic and after from Yucatan in Mexico as far as Peten in Guatemala. Chichen Itza is the most well-known site that was dominated by the Itza. This site at Edzna is very hot and unfortunately my cameras are failing. I will show you what I can of the site, though.

Following the Puuc Route, Yucatan, Mexico: Sayil
มุมมอง 1.1Kหลายเดือนก่อน
This is my last stop on the Puuc Route, before I continue on to Campeche to visit some of the Maya sites there. Sayil is well worth the visit. The Grand Palace is impressive. Also here was discovered the Temple of the Hieroglyphic Doorway with some important writing inscribed into the stone doorway. Some odd sculptures exist here too. You'll have to see for yourself. Next time, I'm on the road ...

In this episode, I'm making my way from Labna to Xlapak, following the Puuc Route. This is another smaller site that contains some well-preserved architectural artwork, featuring the rain god, Chaac. Overall, there is not much left here. But I enjoyed walking the site. See you next time in Sayil!

In my next stop on the Puuc Route, I stop at Labna. This is a relatively small site, but with some very interesting architecture (like all Puuc architecture). Not many structures have been restored, but the Arch, the Mirador temple/lookout, and the Palace Group are all worth a look. Labna is actually the farthest site from Muna and from there I will backtrack to Xlapak and Sayil. You'll see tho...
Following the Puuc Route, Yucatan, Mexico: Kabah

Today I'm visiting the Maya Puuc site of Kabah in Yucatan, Mexico. The stunning architecture is something you should definitely check out some day if you can. The Place of the Masks, for example, features hundreds of masks of the Maya rain god, Chaac. This is the first stop on the Puuc Route. You'll see more in coming videos. I hope you enjoy it!
The Puuc Route: Uxmal

Uxmal is one of the most amazing sites on the Puuc Route. This is a path of cultural exploration highlighting the distinctive architecture of the Puuc Maya of the Late Classic to Terminal Classic periods of Maya history.

Surprised to enter a bicycle race on my way to Muna!

I'm leaving Acanceh to travel to Muna. I had a bit of disappointment when I found the Maya site of Mayapan closed and the road blocked off. I had wanted to visit this site. I had a bit of a surprise when I found myself in the middle of a bicycle road race a couple of kilometres outside of my destination, Muna. (I lost, I think.) From Muna I plan to visit the sites along the Puuc route, includin...

I spent the evening walking in Acanceh. In this town is a small Maya archaeological site and the main pyramid is right alongside a busy city street. It contrasts with the Catholic church right across the street from it. The site was closed, however, I gained access through the generosity of a kind lady who let me in through the back of a shop abutting the site. Unfortunately, the video I took t...

We were there in 1998. Then you had to take a ferry over, i dont know about now. The ruins were less crouded than tikal in Guatemala and very cool.
You still take the ferry (I lost the footage I took of that, unfortunately). It is an amazing site.
Wow amazing 😍
I got tired just watching him climb.
Thanks I really enjoyed this tour. It's amazing. And a testament to the ancestors wisdom.
Thank you for your video
Thanks for watching!
Thank you from 🇫🇴🇬🇧. Your love for hill & step climbing is comical. Stay safe & happy❤
Thank you! The climbing will continue!
I appreciate your time and effort. You have shown us things we didnt know existed. Thank you for choosing service to others.
I appreciate your comment very much. I'm glad you liked the video. Maltiox!
That is the Guatemala land .end we take back very son.
Was that a joke? When you were born in Guatemala, British Honduras/ Belize already existed. Xunantunich is in Succotz which is in the country of Belize.
happy holidays from ireland 👍
Amazing tour Mr. Mystic Moto. What an incredible place. I wonder if any of the plants in the area also date back to when this temples were constructed.
Thanks for watching! That's a good question. It's probably a lot drier today than it was once.
Subject: Possible Imense Viracocha. Hello. Please forgive my bad english. I'm a Brazilian man and can't remember my last english class. Would you have a look and tell me what you think please? Imense object. Here in Brazil called Torre de Pedra(i would translate to Stone Tower). This youtube video is not mine. The title of the vídeo is: SO com DRONE pra DESCOBRIR isso (only with drone to find that). Two time references: 1- at 5min mark Get closer and goes around. 2- at 10min 10s. Goes up. Red arrow to the face!(?) To me looks like a (extraordinary/imense) Viracocha. Thank you.
Hi, MM! Thank you for the nice trip! Hugs from Romania!
Gracias! Caminamos juntos lo mistico. We walk the mysteries together. Thanks for watching.
Nice ✌🏽
Super interesting! Thank you for the tour.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for posting this. I lived in Guatemala for 6 months in 1986 and went to Belize during that time. I didn't know about this.
It's well worth the visit. You should make the trip to see it in person.
Hello from Cahokia in Missouri.I enjoyed the video so I liked and subscribed. Thanks for taking us along.✌️
I'm glad you liked it! See you on the next journey. You have your own amazing archeological site there.
TOO BAD THE ANCIENTS DIDNT HAVE ESCALATORS HUH AMIGO?
You said it! That's a lot of steps!
@@mysticmoto2012 lol, god bless
they had flying craft..
@harrywalker5836 no they totally didnt..I should know bc I was there pal.
I found this so interesting thank you for sharing! Those carvings are incredible. I couldn't quite tell if you mentioned when this would have been occupied but really enjoyed walking around with you thank you
I am glad you enjoyed the video! You're right, I guess I did forget to mention the dates. I'll have to be more careful with that. Anyway these structures date from between about 600 CE and 1000 CE. See you in the next episode!
Nice to see a video where your feel like your actually going there without any breaks, just driving the road, walking, all that. I live in a similar place and this is a treat. Nice job.
Thanks for watching! I am happy you enjoyed it. Caracol is an amazing site.
Amazing, the temple at 23:13 is huge. Your historical knowledge is great. Do you offer tours? I’m thinking of coming down within a year.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! For now, at least I am a solo traveler and I don't offer tours. However, there are many reputable and experienced tour guides out there for these areas.
My goodness! Would love see this in person. Thank you !😊
It really is amazing!
great

Myystic~Good evening,bravo. gorgeous ~)
Bonito video, siempre con cuidado don. New sub.
Incredible structure; is it Mayan?
It sure resembles it
they have no idea.. cant date stone.. the olmec were there also. from africa..
Where's the masonry altar?
The structure is called the Temple of the Masonry Altars. There is one altar that I know of on the top of the pyramid (which you can see in the drone footage near the end of the video), but I am not sure where the plural (altars) comes from; possibly others were found during excavation of different phases of construction. It's a good question and I don't really know the answer. Perhaps some of our other viewers have that answer for you?
My favorite place in Belize ❤
