Sightseeing in Merida
My first pyramid – Uxmal
Today was an very exciting day for me. I had the possibility to see my first Mayan pyramid, my first pyramid at all. It’s the famous Uxmal. From Merida it’s about 1 hour drive. My Mexican couchsurf host Adan and I arrived just right in time…almost too late so we had just 1 hour for visiting the sight. The good thing was that there were almost no people so I was able to make amazing photos just from the pyramid and its surroundings. I was very impressed how beautiful and majestic this place is. From far away you can see the top of the pyramid of the magician (Pirámide del Adivino ). After a break of three hours they open the sight again in darkness for a telling a myth and a light show. Unfortunately I had no translator and my Spanish right now is not good enough. So I just watched the show, but definitely recommend everybody to rent a translator.
