The Mayan ruins in Campeche, Mexico are a must-see destination for travelers in 2015. Located in the Yucatan Peninsula, the ruins are a testament to the ancient Mayan civilization that flourished in the area from 250-900 AD. The ruins are considered some of the best-preserved Mayan sites in the world, and include the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, which is home to a large variety of animals and plants. The ruins are a great way to experience the beauty of the Yucatan and to learn about the Mayan culture.

Visitors can explore the ruins by taking a guided tour or by exploring on their own. The ruins are made up of three main sites: Xpujil, Calakmul, and Becan. Xpujil is the largest site and includes a variety of structures, including pyramids, temples, and palaces. Calakmul is the most impressive of the three sites, with its towering pyramids and intricate carvings. Becan is the smallest of the three sites, but it is still an impressive sight.

    There are other places in the world more worthy of this list than most of the ones mentioned. Disappointed.

    Honestly, Durban in South Africa is not worth the time or money. A better visit will be Cape Town.
