2020 - Regent Cruise - Costa Maya, Mexico - 10

The third stop on our Regent Seven Seas Explorer Caribbean cruise was Costa Maya, Mexico.

Our Regent excursion at Costa maya was to Mayan ruins of Chacchoben.

A young boy was enjoying his time climbing around the ruins while his mother, in a high pitched loud voice, kept berating him non stop for having too much fun.

At this juncture it was "get off the tree NOW and get OUT OF the way of the photographers". Oh give it a rest woman.

The boy was standing on the roots of a large ceiba tree.

Mayans hold the Ceiba tree to be sacred. It is believed souls of the dead ascend to the top of the trees to go to heaven.

It was also a connection between all three worlds, the underworld, earth and heaven.

Today you can find Ceiba trees growing near most Mayan ruins.
