Really enjoyed the views you captured here Stefan, it amazes me of the craftsman and the artisans that created these. The stone walls all appear square with great architectural designs. Makes me wonder how much more there is to unearth in the area. Was there a museum displaying articles that were contained within the dwellings?

Thank you, Bob. Usually people don't take much interest in a bunch of stones I thought the place was amazing, and I'm happy you seem to agree with me. There are more than 1000 Mayan cities throughout Yukatan... It's incredible they are still discovering 'new' cities. There wasn't any museum near the ruins; I suppose they keep the found articles in the museums in the modern cities (e.g., Cancun has a Maya Museum).
