Well my oppinion on the trading routes of the Mayas were simple and easy to follow just as the rout of the slave trade. The Mayas came from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, anad mainly Belize.
They traded with many other Mesoamerican cultures, such as Teotihuacan, the Zapotec, and other groups in central and gulf-coast Mexico. They also traded with groups that were farther away. For example, people who study the Maya civilization found gold from Panama in the Sacred well at Chichen Itza.[6]
Some important things they traded were cacao, salt, sea shells, jade and obsidian.
