Lonely Planet review for Calakmul

In 1931 US botanist Cyrus Lundell was the first outsider to ‘discover’ Calakmul, which means ‘Adjacent Mounds.’ Mayanists consider Calakmul to be a site of vital archaeological significance. The site bears comparison in size and historical significance to Tikal in Guatemala, its chief rival for hegemony over the southern lowlands during the Classic era.
