I remember, (when I was there, and also in Copán --Honduras) the place to be very well kept. Immaculate.
I also noted as one would climb the different pyramids, (if it was high enough to go above the jungle's canopy), you could see some "mounds of green" (as that is all they looked like)... the guides in the different places told me that many of these mounds were more pyramids or archeological sites.
I am convinced that there has to be a lot of undiscovered places in the Maya region (Southern Mexican states Yucatan, Quintana Roo, and part of Chiapas; Guatemala and Honduras), partly due to the fact that it is jungle that has not been explored, and of course that the locals do not have lots of money to pay for the explorations.
The local guerrillas of the 70's and 80's may have had something to do with it as well. |
