El Castillo is the second tallest structure in Belize (after the temple at Caracol), at 40m (130 feet) tall.

It is quite the climb for those of us adverse to heights.

The sides are decorated with depictions of different Mayan gods.

The view from the top is spectacular. Again, mounds remain to either side. Our guide noted, there are more ruins just waiting to be found.

The site itself is beautiful.

Guatemala is off in the distance.

The back.

One last photo as we climbed down.

A wonderful tour.
