Acanceh




On the way home from another excursion, we stopped by the town of Acanceh to see the ruins there. There were 3 small pyramids there! One that we climbed had ancient carvings of masks. The other (we only climbed 2/3) had carvings with some of the original paint left, rooms for their different ceremonies and rulers, and you could see the more ancient pyramid under it (the Mayans would build on top of pyramids they had bulit before). Also it had tiny doorways, which they built that way to bow down to the gods when you went through them. We also checked out the church there. By the time we left Acanceh, it was raining!
