My Uxmal experience 

I have not had an extreme adventure in one of my trips, but I live a particular experience in my last trip to Uxmal.
Uxmal is my favorite archeological zone in Yucatan because is some virgin yet and It is touristic place but not like Chichen Itza.  In that occasion I traveled with my brother, his girlfriend, my sister and my boyfriend; We had a good time on road and arrived in perfect conditions, we walked around the place until found a Sir who asked us about our studies and where we were from?, He was a experimented man, He knew very well the jungle and told us about the hallucinogenic properties of a certain kind of plants there and  a beautiful “cenote”. He showed us the way to arrive it, we did not know that place so we decided looked for it and started to walk, was midday and the sun shining hard on our heads. We followed the way for 25 minutes more or less but abort the mission because the weather was very hot.
We stayed in Muna in a friend´s house, we asked him about the “cenote”, he did not know then He asked to his family, some of them had heard about it but nobody had gone. The old man had told us that the cenote appears in the olds maps and only old people know how arrive, but nobody in my friend´s family Knew the way.
At the end of day we return to Uxmal for the light and sound show, pyramids looks amazing with the colorful lights in the night and the speaker´s story was interesting. I want come back soon to find the cenote.
