Yaxchilan is a larger site than Bonampak.
It’s reached by small boat on the river that separates Mexico from Guatemala.
Then we actually passed though one of the buildings to get to the main plaza. Look out for the bats.
There’s quite a few well-preserved stellae here.
And, naturally, lots of stairs.
We then proceeded the other direction on the river to cross into Guatemala at Bethel, which everyone considered to be the most friendly immigration experience they’d had.
Hi Matt,
Wow the mural at Bonampak (sp??) is great! I think the extra things you chose to do were well worth it.
