What the awe-struck adventurers hadn't expected was the mighty temples and sophisticated cities of the Mayans. The evocative ruins of these temples remain, as do many elements of Mayan culture.

The coast has seen new visitors in recent decades as tourists have been drawn in by the laid-back lifestyle, perfect climate and beautiful beaches.
