 The
Temple of the Warriors and its adjacent
Temple of the Jaguar are the most awe inspiring ruins on the complex.
A massive temple structure, surrounded by hundreds of columns
is carved with reliefs. Still early morning, I wandered into the
rows of columns with the sun just breaking through.
The columns continue on into the jungle, that part of the temple
still has not been restored. It's an unsettling sight to see how
easily the forest has reclaimed the area. What unanswered questions
lay under the canopy of leaves and beneath the twisted roots.
It's 45 minutes till the swarms of visitors
come in so I turn and head out to a place on the map that
sounds promising: Caracol, The
Observatory of the Maya?
