1. The drive

Drove east on the highway then south for 7 miles on a really bumpy road - sort of like driving up a dry creekbed - and we were glad we weren't in our own van; luckily it's "the dry" (dry season) here, but the bad road was evidence of the heavy rains.
We drove across the shallow river twice, saw huge Ceiba trees, small houses, then the valley. The whole area was occupied by Maya and the cave was used for rituals.
