Editorial Verás began with this fascinating Collection

edited in English and in Spanish, in 2008, with some

of the most remarkable subject matters in Mexico.

They are divided into six main categories, from pre-

Hispanic cities, the culture of its founders, nature and

adventure, to contemporary tourist destinations. Its

innovative accordion-style format allows for the

inclusion of two foldouts with each book. In them

you’ll find posters with magnificent illustrations

and maps, among other things. The topics are treated

in an attractive and concise way, and once you have

the guides in your hands they become essential.

Essential of Archaeology - MAYA WORLD offers an exciting

introduction to the legacy of this culture at sites in Guatemala, Belize,

El Salvador, Honduras and southern Mexico. Interesting photographs
