Virtual Tour "The Grolier Codex (now Maya Codex of Mexico)"
Joined 2021
In this Zoom meeting, I will show you a PowerPoint presentation about the only Maya codex which is still in Mexico. Only ten pages are preserved. I will explain to you why it must have had 20 pages originally. I will even show you all 20 pages! Also, I will explain to you exactly how those pages, which were a Venus almanaque, were used by the Maya astronomers. So, join me on this tour one thousand years back in time!

About Tour Guide Jens R.
Hello fans of the Maya culture!
My name is Jens, I am a German living in Cancún, México. I am a specialized tour guide with an official guiding license in Mexico for English, Spanish and German, and have been working in the Maya area for 25 years. My specialty is Maya calendar and Maya hieroglyphic writing. I have written a number of books and articles about those topics. I would like to guide you in the famous Maya ruins like Tulum, Chichén Itzá, Uxmal, Palenque, Calakmul and others. I also know some secret Maya ruins where no other tourists go.
See you soon! Bis bald! Hasta pronto!

“Excellent triop to Tulum & Coba”
We had a day trip with Jens today visiting Coba & Tulum. It was a wonderful experience & would recommend Jens very highly to anyone interested in exploring the Myan culture and Mexico. Our day started at 8.00am and we traveled by air conditioned mini bus to Tulum. The driver was superb, very friendly, very efficient. En route, Jens introduced us to Mayan hieroglyphics, explaining the system and meaning as well as the Mayan calendar. Hugely enriching. We then traveled to Coba where Jens sorted out a bicycle 'taxi' for us so we toured the ruins at leisure without having to walk much at all. Overall a wonderful experience We then stopped for what was an exceptional local buffet for lunch and finally a cenote to have a quick swim. Honestly, an excellent day. Very highly recommended!
