Our Whirlwind Day visiting Ek Balam, Chichen Itza and Coba
My Sis and I decided to hire a driver/guide and make a day of it! I really don't have any regrets to taking this much on in one day.

Meet Camazotz: the Maya Batman
In Maya mythology there is a god with a man's body and a bat's head, pointy ears and part of his face covered with a mask; they called him Camazotz. Does he remind you of someone? The Maya codex describes Camazotz holding a knife of sacrifices in one hand; and his victim in the other.
