We spent two hours looking around this site. What made it different to some of the others was the detailed sculptures and hieroglyphs on the buildings and stairs. The king left a lot of detailed information about his dynasty, as if he realised he might be the last of the Mayan leaders.
The jungle and trees have encroached on much of the site, there has been a lot of restoration going on.
The day we were there, the workers were cutting down a massive tree before the rainy season began. It was expected the trees roots ( which had preserved part of the pyramid would destroy more if it toppled over in the rain.
There were quite a few birds about, and surprisingly there were feeder trays scattered about to attract them.
There were only a few people about when we arrived at 8:30am, which was a very sensible time to be there, well before the sun rose too high into the sky!

Amazing! Such a shame they let the trees grow over the years. Some of those statues look like the ones on Easter Island. Love the birds 🦜

I thought the same about Easter Island. These ruins are centuries old. I don’t think they were discovered until the jungle had taken over, a bit like Angkor Wat in Cambodia too.

Last couple of photos of statues look like Moi statues on Easter Island but smaller. Perhaps they swam across to Honduras!! 🤔

Glad you could see the connection too! But I think the Mayans came from across the Bering Strait land bridge. Although who knows, those flimsy rafts they sailed across the Pacific might have also gone the other way!
