Tourist misinformation. It is a Toltec site built almost 1,000 years after the heyday of the classic Mayans. It bears much more resemblance to sites in central Mexico than it does to places like Palenque or Tikal. It is impressive, to be sure, but reeks of death.Xtovalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881148347459072588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-10518704157453643092011-09-27T11:33:42.880-06:002011-09-27T11:33:42.880-06:00I love this siteI love this siteKim@stuffcould....https://www.blogger.com/profile/03566751822418137457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-50780229918183505632011-09-25T10:04:32.066-06:002011-09-25T10:04:32.066-06:00Interesting......thanks for sharing this.

Husband went all the way up and down, I had anxiety attacks 10 steps up. We went to another site which was overgrown and infested with lizards, it was so cool. Apparently they were all connected by straight roads, almost as cool as the romans... Loved Mexico.
