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!
What I saw on the road to Campeche
On my journey from Muna to Campeche I encounter something interesting along the road.

I'm leaving Muna today to continue my journey. My next stop is Campeche, but along the way I stop at Oxkintoc where I tour the Caves of Aktun Usil. Our Maya tour guide explains the significance of the caves to the local Maya.

Following the Puuc Route, Yucatan, Mexico: Sayil
มุมมอง 1K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
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 ...
Following The Puuc Route: Xlapak, Yucatan, Mexico
มุมมอง 115หลายเดือนก่อน
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!

มุมมอง 97หลายเดือนก่อน
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
มุมมอง 590หลายเดือนก่อน
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
มุมมอง 348หลายเดือนก่อน
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. Join me as I explore the monuments to the creativity and ingenuity of my Maya ancestors.
Surprised to enter a bicycle race on my way to Muna!
มุมมอง 232 หลายเดือนก่อน
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...
Walking Acanceh, Yucatan, Mexico
มุมมอง 572 หลายเดือนก่อน
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...
El Caracol: Chichen Itza's Maya Observatory
มุมมอง 832 หลายเดือนก่อน
Welcome to the final episode of my visit to Chichen Itza. I was amazed at the size and the workmanship of the structure call El Caracol (meaning The Snail Shell in Spanish) because of the spiral staircase inside the structure, which may have been used as an observatory due to its alignment with various astronomical events, and especially with the planet Venus. Following this, I head for the tow...
Chichen Itza: The Great Ball Court. Never mind Coba, this is the real world cup of pelota.
มุมมอง 782 หลายเดือนก่อน
I'm in Chichen Itza again for today's video. It's such a big site, and there's so much to see that I decided to split the videos from my visit into three parts. In this second part, we'll explore the Great Ball Court, the Skull Platform, and the Group of 1,000 Columns among others. The Great Ball Court is the largest ball court in the Maya world and is tied to ritual sacrifice.
Chichen Itza, Part 1: The Temple of Kukulcán
มุมมอง 982 หลายเดือนก่อน
Today, I am visiting Chichen Itza, Yucatan, Mexico. This very important city reached its peak during the Late Classic through to the early Terminal Classic periods in Maya history. This city rose to prominence around the same time that the city of Coba began to decline. You can watch our earlier video about that city. I will be dividing the videos of my visit to Chichen Itza into several parts ...

In the next video (airing Sunday), I will be travelling to Chichen Itza. Before that, in this special extra Saturday episode, I thought I would share with you some of my understanding of the myth and legend behind this site and the rest of the Maya world, especially concerning the legend of Kukulcan. Chichen Itza holds a special place in the Maya world, not least for its size and complexity. Th...
They must have played the Pelota World Cup here in Coba, MX
มุมมอง 533 หลายเดือนก่อน
Today I finish the journey from Cancun to Tulum to Coba and on to Valladolid. The pelota court (or pok a tok) here is probably the largest and most intact I have encountered yet. Like all the sites I've been to so far in Mexico, this one is fairly touristy and they don't allow people to fly their personal drones. Stay tuned as we head to Chichen Itza in the next video. See you on the road!

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

Bonito video, siempre con cuidado don. New sub.
The circular driving around the border paid off with that lovely sunset! Loved the maps! A stair free episode :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
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 ❤
