A view of the volcano from outside the pyramids.
Here people used to drink the alcohol of one of the plants here, and have sex out in the open in this square. The people here still celebrate this tradition, but without the orgy, LOL.

In this area outside of the pyramids there are special acoustics. Here Cody is clapping and hearing the special sound. There is no echo, and our guide said all of this is because of how the stairs are constructed at an angle. Clapping and drums make a very unique sound here.
This is another depiction of the feathered snakes, although they look like dragons.

This alter is where children were used as human sacrifices for rain. Children between the ages of 8 and 12 were sacrificed. Cody didn't like that story too much.
