Life is cosmopolitan in cities like Merida. Many Mayan tours emanate from the cities in the Yucatan Peninsula. PYRAMIDS IN MEXICO - Cholulas pyramid dates back to 600 AD and is actually larger than the ones in Egypt and is buried and was built over many times. Palenque is another fabulous site, showing the reign of Lord Shield Pacal. Uxmal features purely Mayan design, and the pyramids at Chichen Itza are the most popular.
