This page has pictures of Yaxchilán on the banks of the Usumacinta River, which seperates Mexico from Guatemala. I rode in a very long, narrow boat on what was a legitimate jungle cruise. From the small village of Frontera Corozal, it was a 45 minute boat ride to Yaxchilán. The return trip is about 1 hour because you are going upriver.


Someone provided me these two pictures which show one of the boats and one of the pilots.

The boats are very narrow and long.


The pilots on all three of the boats I was on were about this age.



The Guatemala side of the river.


The Mexican side of the river.



The following pictures are of Yaxchilán.

Yes, this is a Bat hanging from the roof inside on of the buidings called the Labyrinth or the Maze. There were about two dozen of them in here. I only had a small flashlight. Later, while still inside the Labyrinth, someone yelled: "Lookout!" While looking to one side, I almost walked into a spider the size of my fist. Indiana Jones, eat your heart out.







This is one of the monkeys who live in the trees over the Yaxchilan ruins.
