Best book
Lots of wonderful pictures, history, and explanations of the Maya, their culture, the ruins, etc. I love this book. Even if you don't plan a trip to the area, it is a beautiful book to look at.

Simply the best!
While preparing for a spring trip to Guatemala, I re-discovered this guide and will use it throughout the Maya Highland areas of Guatemala. I used this guide in 1998 while touring the Yucatan and its fantastic pyramids. In addition, I use portions of this guide to teach my freshman-level anthropology students about Maya Traje. If you are a traveler and not a tourist, this is the guide for you! Of all of the guides I have used for Southern Mexico and Guatemala, this is the best.

WONDERFUL resource!

I coupled this with Footprint's Central America and Mexico Handbook and lonely Planet's Guatemala, Belize and Yukatan guide and I reckon I am set! The other 10 or so guides will be relegated to the bookshelf or garbage!!. This is one of the most user friendly information packed guides on the Maya Route I have found! the 3D style maps give a good indication of the kind of territory and the transport networks in the region.
