Uaxactun

I only spent one afternoon in Uaxactun this spring, on my way back to Flores. But many of the workers on the dig in March came from this village, north of Tikal, a gateway into the northeast corner of the Peten. This is one traveler's protrait of the village and its efforts to conserve traditional forest products - xate, chicle, pimienta, lumber.
