Xpujil

Xpujil is a Mayan Ruin in Campeche not far from Quintana Roo. It is not heavily visited by tourists -- we had the place all to ourselves!







El Pantano de Centla

The Centla Swamp is in Tabasco close to the border with Campeche. Here three large rivers merge shortly before entering into the Gulf of Mexico. We saw all kinds of herons, caracaras, iguanas and a couple of alligators. 



Pejelagarto is delicious

Cute, huh?

This one lives in the museum, but his wild relatives live just outside in the river



These guys run around wild at the museum
