I’m referring to the Mayan civilization at large, which extends through Guatemala and Honduras. Which is certainly not safe by any first world standards (but also not as dangerous as one might think)

I went to Chichen Itza last year and went to a cenote. It felt incredibly safe the entire time. It was a fantastic experience.
Yucatan state is quite safe, it’s one of the few in Mexico without a US travel advisory. It’s also got to be the #1 attraction in the state and a major source of revenue judging by how much they charge to get in
But “the area” in question is not that. Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras have serious challenges but you do those and the reader no favor by conflating them.
You’re being pedantic, the original comment referred to Mayan cities, not Mayan cities in Campeche
Are you suggesting there are undiscovered Mayan cities in the heavily trafficked areas of Honduras and El Salvador?
