Where did the Mayan go?

Answer 1

Short answer would be they were conquered by the Spanish in the late 17th century a conquest that took 170 years.

Now your question is rather vague where as im not sure if your referring to the classical collapse of the Maya or what ended the civilization.

Classical collapse... no one really knows, they went from prosperous to devistated civilization in a rather short amount of time. The current contending theories are, overpopulation, foreign invasion, peasant revolt, the collapse of key trade routes, environmental disaster, disease and climate change. In all probability the collapse was a cause of any number of these theories and none (standing alone) explain the collapse in its entirety with a significant probability, however a drought most certainly did take place during this time period.

Several hundred years after the collapse the Spanish eventually conquered the remaining Maya strongholds however this is a gross oversimplification.

Answer 2

the mayans ran away to the countryside because a natural disaster wiped out their camp
