Summary The "Ruta maya" actually begins in a supporting film for "Miami Vice", in Cancún on the Mexican peninsula Yucatán. Cancún, a seaside resort wrapped in neon and plastic, is firmly in American hands, including hamburgers and Budweiser. Only a few kilometers south: the former empire of the legendary Maya - Chichén Itza, Chétumal, Palenque, Tikal. Many had been here, adventurers, millionaires, hobby researchers - magically attracted by this enigmatic people of the Maya, who ate dog schnitzel, stuffed the heads of deceased relatives and sacrificed the lifeblood of beautiful virgins for breakfast. In Mexico you need a good portion of trust in your guardian angel, according to a Campesinó's warning, because the country is a mixture of blood and tequila. An unfounded warning. The Mexico of prejudices perhaps exists, in the north, not in Yucatán, where it has long since been declared dead.
