It was fun to visit these ruins--they are quite impressive and are located up on a hill with nice views of the surrounding areas.

Our guide Guillermo told us about the history of the people and the site. There is a beautiful museum close by that is part of the park. To use the phrase "valio la pena" it was truly... More
