Adventure tour fiever
... was a nice little walk, plus we had a nice view over the town.
29.Nov.
We decided to go on a cave tour: Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) cave tour. The cave is famous for its mayan remains of 14 skeletons and the 'crystal maiden'. A young woman (or rather her left-overs) is her early 20s is lying there at the end of the cave. It is very good preserved and in perfect shape as over the time it had crystalized.
To get there is an adventure ...

I told them I was an amateur anthropologist and geologist, they laughed. We arrived at the cave entrance and were outfitted with life vests tubes and head lamps. We had to walk like ...
Tikal
... just isn't the resource here to carry out sufficient work. Temple 4 is the last on our route and at 55 metres high is is the highest but surprisingly the safest to climb due to a recently built wooden staircase with hand rails that zig zags up the side.
