An AMAZING view from the top of "El Castillo". You can see into 3 countries from here.
Notice how I'm not kneeling that close to the edge... It was all I could do to get this close.
......
The stuctures in the rear are one big plaza surrounded by little homes. The structures on the right are 3 pyramids, some still not excavated, that were homes for the upper class. The pyramid in the center is believed to be a temple. There are passages within it but are burried and packed with dirt. They tell us that they will not be excavated for fear of the structure collapsing.
Yes... we climbed these steps to the top of "El Castillo"!......
This Pyramid was built over 3 centuries in layers. It's got huges canals on multiple levels to collect the rain water and store it for the people.
