The day after visiting Chichen Itza, I visited the ancient Mayan city of Ake. I felt drawn to visit the “Atlantes” temple and chant mantras there. The site was completely deserted when I visited, so I had the site all to myself for almost the whole visit. I again felt the presence of giants at the “Atlantes” temple; the temple radiates a strong feeling/atmosphere of its past. The weather was overcast when I arrived and eventually cleared into a beautiful sunny day as the afternoon unfolded.
INAH is clearing an area next to the “Atlantes” temple and starting to restore a temple there.
The only notable photo I took was of the unexcavated temple. For other photos of Ake, please see my Ake webpage from last year.
