Edzná – Beach. The Maya and the sea of jade

Imagine walking among the ancient stones in Edzná, to leave your footprints in the soft white sand of an almost virgin beach. To be among the green of the jungle and the sea. To have a brief gaze of Mayan eternity and the infinite serenity of the beach.

Imagine hearing the echoes of ancient voices that speak of the great era of the Maya and the echo of the singing sea.
