А после них ещё оставалось время на соседний сенот X'Canché. Я колебался идти или не идти, так как пешком там пара километров, а последние дни и так были напряжёнными. Но пошёл и не прогадал - наконец-то встретил момота. В Коста-Рике только их гнезда (точнее норы) видел.

Бурый момот/turquoise-browed motmot/Eumomota superciliosa.
Очень забавный хвост.
Непонятно, кому пришло в голову назвать птичку бурой. Когда впервые увидел английское название, то прочитал browed как brown(не иначе как эффект прайминга 😀).
Сразу после посещения Чичен-Итцы отправился на менее известные руины Ek Balam.

I'm so fascinated by the ancient Mayan civilization and their amazing achievements in art, architecture, and astronomy. That's why I was thrilled to read this article about a new discovery in Mexico that might shed some light on the mystery of the Mayan Acropolis of Ek' Balam. Have you ever been to Mexico or seen any Mayan ruins? Let me know in the comments! #mayan #mexico #ekbalam #history #travel

Has Mexico solved the mystery of the Mayan Acropolis of Ek' Balam?

En otras cosas quedan estos impresiones restos de estuco esculpido que representa a una mujer cuya mano izquierda agarra el pelo de un personaje sometido.
