Mayan structure near Dzibalkú by Aaron Novelo

"The structure of Dzibalkú, a building lost among the fields near Tizimín. Appreciated from the satellite map, we set out to reach this mysterious and unusual lost structure. It was a long trip of more than two hours to the site where, upon arrival, we continued walking approximately 5 km to the structure. On the way, we got lost several times, the water ran out and we lost a lot of time. At approximately 16:20, we straightened our course and headed into the jungle for about 300 meters of dense vegetation that made us feel like we had crossed a kilometer during the journey because of how difficult was to advance. However, despite all the setbacks, we reached the objective at about 17:10, when, finally at the top, we could observe the magnitude and height of this building, which is approximately 25 meters high. At 17:40, we were already leaving the site without water, a bit dehydrated and tired."
