15．（2024春 达拉特旗校级期末） From carefully reconstructed sites like Chichen Itza to the ceremonial temples of Calakmul，these are the ancient Maya ruins not to miss in Mexico.
Chichen Itza
Named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007，the beautifully preserved Chichen Itza in Yucatán is Mexico's most famous Maya ruins.Despite the crowds，few are dissatisfied with El Castillo —a carefully restored pyramid that rises up 80 ft and has 365 steps —the largest Maya ball court in the Americas.
Tulum
Built in the 13th century，Tulum was one of the last cities where the Maya people lived and the only one built on the coast.The pyramids here aren't as large as other Maya ruins in Mexico，but the setting，on 40 ft﹣high cliffs （悬崖） above the Caribbean waters south of Cancun，more than makes up for it.
Cobá
Home to the tallest pyramid in the state of Quintana Roo，Cobá was once one of the most important Maya cities in Yucatán.Located around 30 miles west of Tulum ruins，the city was built in around 600 CE and it eventually grew to 50，000 people living there.Though much of Cobá has yet to be excavated （发掘），travellers can climb the 138 ft﹣high Nohoch Mul —a pyramid that offers sweeping views over the Yucatán rainforest.
Calakmul
In Campeche's Calakmul Biosphere Reserve near the border with Guatemala，Calakmul is one of Mexico's wildest Maya ruins.It has the largest and tallest pyramid in Yucatán and more than 6，000 buildings，many of them covered by rainforest.The site is particularly beautiful at sunrise，when the surrounding forest comes alive with birdsong.
