Internet search giant Google is enabling virtual travellers to further explore Brazil and Mexico through new imagery on its Street View service in Google Maps.

Google has also unveiled Street View imagery of 30 Mesoamerican archaeological sites in Mexico.

Virtual travellers can visit Kukulkan’s Temple, the 1,100-year-old pyramid; the pyramids of Teotihuacan; and emblematic sites for the Mayans such as Chichén Itzá or "seaside archaeological jewels", such as Tulum.

These new additions to Google Maps follow Google's addition of new panoramic imagery features to its Street View portrayal of the Antarctic last month, including explorer Ernest Shackleton’s hut.
