Chetumal



"Chetumal is famous for a rich pre-Columbian city state, which it was definitely ruled by the Mayan civillization. It is well-known to where two hurricanes were hit in the 1940s, and in 1955, Hurricane Janet destroyed almost all of Chetumal, but since four or five buildings remain standing, Chetumal has used so much concrete. Since it's just a little town, highways were built in 1960s and in 1970s, so that means it's a big city. Right now, all of the Chetumaleños and Chetumaleña can feel that the time has come to see if there's something extraordinary happened."
