Mexico
Palenche

The old Mayatown of Palenche have some very beautiful temples. It was a sensation when they discovered the grave of King Pakal inside the the largest pyramide. Later they found graves in two other temples too. I catched some nice details from various temples, showing the magnificent carvings they did into stone with the material they had at hand, and I am very impressed.
