Pulhapanzak Falls, Honduras
The river that drops over Pulhapansak Falls is born not far away, bubbling
from the ground as one of many drains from Lake Yojoa, which has no natural
surface exits (they did dig a canal which then goes into a 2 meter pipe that
fuels a hydroelectric plant nearyby).
Behind the falls. Not the smaller cave, though, that one had a narrow
entrance and was very dark within.
In the flat area above the falls are a few mounds that are easily
recognizable (if you've seen them before) as Mayan ruins. These ones have not
been excavated and are not large. They're less than ten feet tall and probably
have an empty storage space within, though after the many earthquakes that have
occurred over the last 1,600 years, there's no knowing how intact everything
still is.
