Xunantunich Temple



Xunantunich Temple

Early explorers noticed a woman in white with glowing red eyes ascending the stairs of the Castillo and disappearing into a stone wall. Xunantunich was thereafter named for her and means "the stone woman" in Mayan. Is she a priestess? Was the young man buried in the temple her lover? Whoever she is, she's powerful and draws many spirits to the once wealthy citadel.
