Naz was a phenomenal tour guide and driver. He had first hand knowledge of he ruins, having worked in the excavation process. He gave us a fabulous tour of the ruins, explained the properties of many local plants and found us two monkeys in the tree. After lunch, we drive to the amazing Rio Frio cave. Then we went swimming in the Rio Frio pools. After that, he took us to the Big Rock Falls and we played in the water. It was an awesome day. W saw and learned so much from Naz and the unique part was that my husband and I were his group so we could do it at our pace. We climbed can every ruin possible. The drive to the ruins is very long and bumpy but Naz mad th time fly. The ride home seemed much shorte but we had an 11 hour day. Don't miss this site. It's got a lot of everything!
