In the past week, I have been to Maya temple ruins at Palenque, Yaxchilon, Bonampak, and the Olmec heads at La Venta in Villahermosa. The temples and other arts made by humans are amazing, but this posting is a simple review of some of the plants and animals encountered at the sites.
At Escudo Jaguar, Corozol, Chiapas by the Rio Usumacinto (on the way to Yaxchilan)
A guardian at Yaxchilan
A toucan (can you see it?) behind the Gran Acropolis at Yaxchilan
A lichen covered rock that looks like the face of a god at the Temple of the Foliated Cross, Palenque
A monkey at Palenque. His brothers and cousins howled whenever we were there.
