4.- Palenque / Balamku / Becan |
Start
the day Traveling to the Jungle and get to the largest wet land
area of Mexico Visit of Balamku. Our namesake, House of the Jaguar,
reveals exceptional reliefs carved into the walls of preclassic
temples. Crossing the threshold into the building is rather like
entering the underworld! The archaeological site is located inside
a woodland area, offering to the visitor the opportunity of cohabiting
with nature while going through this interesting prehispanic city.
In Balamkú lies a frieze made of polychromatic moulded stucco,
unique in the Mayan area, which was built between the years 550
and 650 A.D. The detail reading of this work of great iconographic
wealth reveals ancient Mayan's complex conception of the world.
Then continue our expedition to the majestic Citadel of Becan. The
moat surrounding the city center is 52 feet wide and 16 feet deep
and has been dated to the pre-classic period, considered the capital
of the Rio Bec region, Becan is the only site surrounded by a wall
and moat. To enter Becan, the Mayans built various entrances, seven
of which are through tombs where you can then see towers decorated
with facades, the ball court, and well-preserved stellae.(B-L).
