Hormiguero
Hormiguero submitted by davidmorgan : Structure II - a nice fusion of Chenes and Rio Bec styles here. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ancient Village or Settlement in Mexico.
A small Maya settlement which peaked from about 600-850 CE (the Late Classic).

Two amazing buildings have been excavated - Structure II with the typical Rio Bec towers with a wonderful sacred monster mouth doorway between them, and Structure V, a delightful temple in the depths of the jungle with an ornate monster mouth at the top.

The access road is rather potholed, but manageable in the dry season.
