El Cid Vacations Club Members Marvel at Ancient Wonders of Mayan Culture

MAZATLAN, Mexico - July 27, 2015 - PRLog -- El Cid Vacations Club members know that Mexico has no shortage of fun places to go and memorable things to see, but few things can compare to the majesty and history behind the ancient Mayan ruins that dot the countryside around El Cid Vacations Club in the Cancun/Riviera Maya area.

With some built more than 2,500 years ago, these spectacles are almost perfectly preserved examples of palaces, observatories and ritual rich sites that were highly valued structures of a forgotten culture. According to El Cid Vacations Club, the most favored places to visit include Coba and Chichen Itza.

Perhaps the best kept secret by El Cid Vacations Club members is the ruins of Coba, an expansive cluster of ruins that is largely unknown to the vast number of visitors who come to the Yucatan Peninsula every year. Once of the most visited cities of the peninsula, Coba contains the Grand Pyramid with 120 vertical steps of stone that vacationers love climbing for a picturesque view of the surrounding countryside once they reach the top.

El Cid Vacations Club members also love the iconic Chichen Itza ruins, the most famous ruins in the Yucatan and perhaps all of Mexico. Only 125 km west of Cancun, Chichen Itza boasts towering temples, incredible architecture and a unique history. According to archeological reports, athletes competed in a sport similar to basketball in which losing came with a dire punishment – death! The playfield itself, thankfully for members who venture into the historic site, is 100 percent intact, allowing visitors from El Cid Vacations Club to imagine the intense do-or-die match being played out in front of them.
