  • The ruins are a lot of fun to climb and take pictures from above. What is even more interesting are the monkeys. We saw at least 15 of them situated on a fruit tree eating at 3:00pm. We also heard loud roars coming from the jungle (bigger monkeys!!). If you go during the hot season you will fry for it. We went in December and the heat was not that bad!
