Arrive late afternoon I found myself completely alone at the site - really alone, except mosquitoes (fewer than Tabasco, but present throughout the peninsula, landing daily from 16h) I particularly like the loneliness, the feeling of being confronted with the story without witness - I think it shows on the photos (make-timer).
Edzna is a Mayan site abandoned in the fifteenth century, for mysterious reasons, like all the Mayan sites - which were not destroyed by the conquistadors, but abandoned before their arrival, and even forgotten in the jungles.
Edzna shows influences Puuc (ornate style of Uxmal) and the crest of the main temple reminds Tikal ... The sculptures are strangely similar to those of Kabah. Like what all these cities knew and influenced one another, and he emerges from the ruins of Edzna a great impression of harmony.
