Summary of "My Ruta Maya"

Information about traveling along the Ruta Maya in Central America  is provided by travel agencies and travel guides as f/e the Lonely Planet. That is not what you will find in this booklet. My Ruta Maya is a reflection on the temples, piramids and the ruins I have seen during my stay there.


Ruins are an intriguing phenomenon. They are stories about the past and its architectural remnants. Man made constructions they develop into isolated and stand alone buildings and monuments all different and discernible. They constitute a theater of silence in which Nature is the slow, invisible conqueror. Ruins show the vanity of the human effort to eternalize himself. They provide an ambiance for close reading and reflection on a civilization.

I follow the trails of the dead Maya cities and tell the story of my observations and use a form of writing that looks like a poem. It is the sound of silence in a loud and crazy world of today.
