We opted to not get a guide for this site, but I guess everyone is a guide including the gardeners. We entered a wide area of grass where a series of stele were displayed. A man with a leaf rake struck up a conversation with us and the next thing we knew he was explaining the meaning of the images on the stele. He led us to each one and explained, in Spanish everything he knew about it. He was with us for at least an hour. Bill gave him 200 limpira which is just about $13.00 .The site is impressive. Huge. There are buildings on top of buildings and archeologists have dug tunnels through them to study earlier Mayan architecture. These tunnels used to be open to the public, but now they charge extra and you can’t go very far anymore, so we didn’t bother. The buildings we could see was enough. Those Mayan were incredible builders!At this site I could almost imagine what life might have been like to live there because there were residences as well as temples. Av Cop?
