Intrepid Climber on top of el Caracol. 1999

Don't even try to get to this spot!

I lost my best judgment and climbed to the top for some panoramic views.
I struggled to inch my feet and hands against opposing walls until I reached the top
of the structure where ancient Maya astronomers came for sightlines of the equinoxes,
the summer solstice and the cardinal directions

The pictures that I was able to get are represented in this gallery.

BTW: I was ceremoniously escorted out of the
area and kindly asked not to do it again.
Apparently the park attendant was just as
embarrased about the episode as I was!

Lo siento seniores...
