Although I just declared my undying love for the incredible ruins of Palenque, Uxmal’s unusual pyramid was also a highlight of our Mexican tour. Sandwiched in between nights spent in the colourful towns of Campeche and Merida, we explored its beautiful green lawns and many sculptures to the rain god Chaac. Just like Palenque, it was relatively quiet and perfect to wander around, soaking in our surroundings.
