Originally posted by 97dakota Yea, I went three years ago, we spent four days walking thru mayan ruins and hiking thru junlges. there was a cave that had original pots and cooking utensils from the ancient mayans. god it was so cool to see the stuff they used and not be in a muesem(sp). then we spent five days diving. IT is rate as the second most desirable spot to dive after the great barrier. I can't wait till I can take a trip to "inspect the building process". bever been to brazil. I have heard that rio is quite the party meca. have fun.
