Our guide was excellent, and very knowledgeable about Mayan culture (being Mayan himself).
Incredible ruins, and local craftsman/women have some really incredible things to offer. Personally, I bought a jewelry box, and two dishes, as well as a car

Incredible ruins, and local craftsman/women have some really incredible things to offer. Personally, I bought a jewelry box, and two dishes, as well as a carved mask. I probably spent about $30.
