The world of the Maya included a large area of land that today, make up the countries of Mexico, Guatemala , El Salvador and Honduras. They built their great cities out of the jungle in one of the most inhospitible places on Earth. It was hot (caliente) and rainy (lluvioso) most of the year. There were also wild animals that were dangerous (peligroso) to people.
Some of the most well-known Maya cities included Tikal, Palenque, Chichen Itza and Calakmul.
