An amazing place. To see technology at its finest through its architecture and to see it still intact was an incredible experience!

Really nice walk through the forest with a nice pyramids. Great place to be in a hot day as you are in a shade all the time. We went there really early so no one was there which was nice to have the place just for us. After an hour it started to filling up with people so I recommend to go early.

Its a nice place to visit. To really appreciate the whole trip its best to have a guide to tell you the history and you could understand what its all about. Lots of things to see. Trip on a bike to the ruins was awesome. Nature at its best.
