Kohunlich



Howler Monkeys greeted us in the trees overhead as we entered the parking area at the ruins.  Kohune palms are everywhere.....  hence the name Kohunlich.  Another beautiful example of the Mayan past.


The protected jungle is opened up here to reveal some great temples.  The largest, houses a nice collection of large figureheads and a great view of the surrounding forest.  Built around 500 A.D. Kinich Ahau (the sun face) is one of the Mayans most important deities.


Here at the base of this temple Jane and I had the extra treat watching a flock of Toucans.


The trip to these great ruins will not be forgotten.
