Location: Cozumel, Mexico
Years
ago while visiting Cozumel with some friends, we stumbled across some
interesting old ruins buried deep in the jungle. Cozumel is a tiny island off the coast of the
Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, and its landscape is just like the mainland – dense,
low lying jungle on a flat terrain.
Looking from the window of my hotel, the few houses there on the coast
butted up to that jungle. Its hard to
imagine that sort of terrain right in their own backyard. And somewhere in that jungle, in those peoples’
backyard, were over a dozen archaeological sites of old Mayan ruins.
