Beautiful site but many signs are faded and others are Spanish only, so hiring one of the site guardians as a guide is a good idea because they'll be able to explain the history as well as local Maya folklore. English speaking guides are not always available, so Spanish skills help. Bring mosquito spray and sunscreen (after all, this is a tropical jungle area and the afternoon sun is usually brutal).
