Ek Balam
















We took a day trip out to Ek Balam and Valladolid one day. They are about a million miles from civilization on tiny winding roads. I think it was the hottest day ever recorded on the history of the earth too. We've been to Mexico a few times and seen the usual ruins, Tulum, Chichen Itza, Coba, etc., but Kelly found some ruins that we had never been to. Ek Balam. It means Black Jaguar. The structures are still being excavated and there are clearly bigger, more impressive temples yet to be uncovered. The main temple, however, had some very cool and magnificently preserved statues and structures.
