Chiqabal

Last weekend a group of us got together to celebrate some birthdays. This lake, Chiqabal, is about a two hour hike from a volunteer's sight. After burning thighs, getting slightly lost in on a jungly path and staving off the rain we arrived. 
From the lookout. 
According to Jerami and Zane, there were something like 538 stairs; parts were quite steep, as shown here. 
On our way down...
This lake is considered a holy place by local Mayans. While we were there a group of people were having a ceremony across the lake. 
The fog continually rolled over the ridge and gently fell onto the lake. It was such a beautiful sight.
