Rio Dulce back to Antigua

Our driver felt we still had enough time to make the stop at the smaller Mayan ruin on our way to Antigua. It was pretty cool and a little bit creepy. Since we were there a little later in the day all the tourists had already moved though. We were almost the only ones at this very large site. The site is know for these large intricately carved stones.
Ryland is in front of a Mayan alter. There is still smoke from a fire smoldering there.
This was the area of this site that had some building on it. It was better than the small shot with the camera would lead you to believe. It was neat to visit but not a rival to Copan.
On our way back we passed miles and miles of Banana trees on the Dole plantation. Our driver was quite nervous about making it back to Antigua before dark and so was I. Fortunately we made very good time and arrived by 7pm.
