Iximche


Sunday morning we left Xela and headed for home. On the way we stopped at the Mayan ruins of Iximche, near the town of Tecpan. As with many attractions, we "extranjeros" had to pay five times the amount to enter as the "guatemaltecos". Guatemalans - Q10. Foreigners - Q50.



It was an enjoyable, peaceful place. The children had fun climbing and jumping on the ruins.



The ball court.








The Mayans still hold sacred ceremonies on the site.
