Very sharp rocks on the beach.
Looking SE from the cliff
Looking NE from the top of the modern beach access. I don't remember that rope being there, I wonder what it's anchoring.

The main steps of "El Castillo."
A very strange looking tree.
This girl had won the Ms. Barcelo Contest the previous evening at our resort.
Unfortunately we weren't allowed to get very close to most of the buildings to avoid damage.
They sure built pillars well. They should have built the second stories out of the same material...
This was a tomb and that rectangle was the last resting place of someone important.
More pillars. It's not clear what this thatch is protecting. Whatever it is, it is very strange looking.
The cornice of this building was designed to look like a face. It faced the NW corner tower. I forget what the guide said it w
The walls were covered with paintings. You can see remnants of the blue, black, and red on this protected wall.
