Guarding the border with Guatemala - Ruinas de Yaxchilan

Placed in a dense jungle, right on the Rio Usumacinto bank, wich is the border river between Mexico and Guatemala.

Trip to this site is kind of a trip back in time. You have a constant feeling that somwhere you'll meet some Mayas, still living as in old times.

No traces of modern civilization and only few turists; genuine contact with nature.

Great addition to the Yaxchilan folio, which is certainly much smaller than it deserves...

Vidim, da lepo napredujes . Pred parimi meseci je bilo tukaj dosti manj informacij. Kar tako naprej, sem te malo vzpodbudila z ocenami.
