Chiapas 02/2010: Yaxilan

Well after a wonderful day at Palenque we all got to bed early so that we start early on our journey to Yaxilan. After a 3 hour drive we took a beautiful 45 minute boat ride down the Usumacinta to the site. The Usumacinta river serves as a natural border between Mexico and Guatemala and is littered with wonderful archaeological sites on both sides. As with my entry on Palenque I will be focusing this time more on wildlife than archaeology, but I have previous blog posts on that if you are interested.
