About a hundred KM north of Chetumal are the Mayan ruins at Becan. It was a trading city on the main route across the base of the Yucatan Peninsula. It is unique because it had a moat, the first discovered in the Mayan Empire. It also has rounded corners on the buildings, also rare.
There is a wide spot in the road and a restaurant right at the turnoff to the ruins and, as we did last year, we stopped for dinner in the restaurant and spent the night in the parking lot. In the morning I walked the half a KM in to the ruins.
