Yaxchilán

One of the most impressive experiences. Mayan ruins that can only be reached by an hour-long boat ride. Unfortunately, it is so hot and dogs are not allowed there, that we cannot leave Naima alone. So only I will go, Mica will stay with the howler monkeys and mosquitoes. Thank you, honey, for this birthday gift.

During the boat ride, we can observe crocodiles lying lazily on the riverbank and observe the jungle from a completely different perspective.

The ruins are completely different from the well-known sites because they are very remote and can only be reached by boat. They have preserved a ghostly originality because only parts of them have been excavated.

We are one of the first boats, so there is no one else, and I have some of the individual points to myself. Footpaths are simply cut through the jungle. Crazy.

At night, the howler monkeys make a hell of a noise and you would think the beasts must be huge from the roar. Far from it... in the morning, they climb over the Defender and are cute to watch. But if they start...
