About:



Archeological evidence suggests that after the collapse of the Maya civilization, Chacchoben, as well as many other sites in the region was still used as a ceremonial center and that a number of rituals took place at the abandoned temples. After the arrival of the Spaniards in the XV century and the eventual conquest of what today is Mexico and Central America, there were major changes in the Maya population, their religion and in general in the way how they lived.

By 1847 the landscape had changed dramatically and there was unrest among the Maya population, that unrest ignited one last conflict, "the Caste's War", when the Maya Cruz'ob, went to war against the Mexican Federation for the control of the Yucatan Peninsula.

During the 50 years of the Caste's War, a number of atrocities were committed as entire towns were burned down to ashes forcing the Maya families to abandon their homes and to escape from the conflict areas into the territory of Brittish Honduras (former Brittish Colony, today Belize) and into Guatemala. It's during these years of conflict that the rituals and visits to Chacchoben stopped until the site was forsaken and become one of the many Maya sites lost under the jungle.

  NASSAU, BAHAMAS PORT GUIDE Our Experience & Photos from when we were in Nassau. It also gives a guide for thing to do in Nassau & a little bit about Nassau. Last Updated: July 20th, 2022 Our Rating: ***** (5 Stars) A Little About Nassau A lot of people do not like the port because it is often under construction, the shops can be overly crowded sometimes, and there are people constantly pestering you to buy things, buy tours, and to buy transportation. I mean they will try to sell you everything. Finding transportation in this port is not hard at all and the taxi prizes were not bad. Nassau is one of the most visited ports in the Bahamas and the most popular cruising destination in the Caribbean itineraries. It is located in the islands of New Providence off the coast of Florida. It has a mild weather in the winter which makes it ideal for water sports and activities. What Did We Do There? We last visited Nassau in August 2021. We personally really enjoyed this port. While we

  PORTS TO GET YOUR PASSPORT STAMPED Always ask when you arrive in Port and most immigration officers will be happy to direct you. Grand Cayman . This is one of the coolest passport stamps in the whole world (at least I think so!); it’s a peg leg turtle pirate. Yes, seriously, a peg leg turtle pirate. This one’s pretty easy to get too. Once you’ve arrived in port, after tendering in, there’s a small building with Customs officials who will stamp your passport. The building’s usually pretty easy to find, but we did stop to ask and make sure it was the right one before we went in. This one is also a two for one – if you head over to Hell, Grand Cayman, they’ll give you a novelty stamp saying you’ve been to Hell. Aruba and Curacao . Here you can hit the jackpot of Passport Stamps, You can get both of these on one sailing. In both Aruba and Curacao, we just asked where the Customs house (or office) was and then walked over. They do keep normal business hours, so you’ll have to do it during
