Indiana Jones feeling

Hormiguero, an ancient Maya site near the Guatemalan border, is a hidden gem of the Rio Bec architectural style, characterized by its elaborate stucco decorations and false stairways. Tucked deep within the jungle and seldom visited, this site offers a rare glimpse into the artistry and ingenuity of the Maya civilization, far from the crowds of more famous ruins.
