Hormiguero Mayan Ruins
Hormiguero is perhaps the most exotic site within reach of the Rancho Encantado Eco Resort. As visitors emerge suddenly into a clearing in the jungle, an exceptionally ornate temple rises to greet them. The elaborate stucco work reveals influences from all over the region and remains in excellent condition. Evidence of a revolution reveals the destruction of all symbols of human ancestors but the careful preservation of icons of the gods.
Rancho Encantado tours may also be arranged to other sites, including new excavations. To arrange custom tours to any of these sites, please contact us.
