Walked across the road to have breakfast at ‘Don Muchos’, then off we went walking to the ruins.\u00a0 The map the the German traveler had given Levi proved to be extremely accurate, and we were soon on the trail into the jungle that he had recommended.\u00a0 What a great walk –\u00a0crossed spectacular waterfalls, explored un-excavated ruins, and the jungle itself, up close and personal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ater we left the ruin site, we spent some time in the site museum.\u00a0 When we left, we knew we had had a very special day.<\/p><\/div>\n
