El Ceibo highway closed

It was a bad idea to start with - completing the highway between Tabasco, Mexico, and Flores, Peten, Guatemala. Supposed to generate tourism between Palenque and Tikal, it gave drug smugglers a landing strip and others easy access to settle protected areas. Now both governments have shut the El Ceibo crossing to people and vehicles.
