Bonus Ruins

On the way back into Guatemala from Copán, we added a stop at the associated site of Quiriguá to the itinerary. It is located in the middle of the vast Chiquita banana plantations.

This site has quite a few stellae, some of them quite tall and amazingly intact, including the tallest stone monumental statue in the Americas.
