The Lovely City of Caracol


Welcome to Caracol, an ancient Mayan city occupied from 600 B.C. to 900 A.D. My family and I were fortunate enough to visit this stunning archaeological site. The Mayan people successfully dealt with a challenging environment through the use of reservoirs, city planning, a terrace system and recycled garbage. In this picture, I am standing on a massive temple called Caana which is 140 tall.

 Here is a picture of my friend, Eila, in front of the Mayan reservoir located about half a mile from the temple shown above.
