Click image to enlarge.

 

These images were taken just after sunrise in April. We departed for the site up the river in the dark while the sun rose. Yaxchilan is simply beautiful and during this time of the year you can also swim in the river after your tour of the site. Yaxchilan has many passageways and chambers, which are difficult to photograph. The grounds are kept immaculate and there is a strict no smoking policy on the entire site.

There is no place to purchase film or batteries here.

Ruta Puuc

Within the heart of the Yucatan lay a circuit of ruins which have come to be known as the Ruta Puuc (Puuc Route). These sites are the finest examples of the Puuc architecture style. Sites that make up the route are: Uxmal, Kabah, Sayil, Labna, Xlapak, Oxkintok, Xul, Chamultun, Bakna, and Kiuic.
