This site is very special. For the oldest known ruins in the Americas - the buildings and town planning are very sophisticated. We were stunned and also pleased, by how quiet the site is. there are not big tour groups, we only saw few groups there. The guides only speak Spanish, hopolly we understand Spanish litle bit, but even though we only speak English - they speak with such passion that we could understand it all rather well.
