The Mayans are well known for creating the only fully developed written language of pre-Columbian Americas.

How did the Maya and the Aztec modify their environment to suit their needs?
Many modern surviving Mayans reside in an area known as the Mayan Highlands of Guatemala.
A vast chunk of this area is a farming community and weaving industry. They now speak Spanish instead of their native languages and have taken up modern technology, including computers and mobile/cell phones. They still practice Mayan traditions and beliefs (minus the sacrificing, luckily).
They have modern roads through their lands and use them to trade with surrounding towns and cities using vehicle transport.
There are also some tribes of indigenous native Mayans who still inhabit the lowland rainforest regions. Most of these have not yet been contacted by modern man and are protected by local governments by restricting travellers and air traffic over the areas they are known to inhabit.
The indigenous native Mayans who have come into contact with modern man mainly still act suspicious, but are happy to trade. For example, after one particular environmental disaster, a charity group left food on the border of a known native Mayan tribe, which the tribe accepted.
