La Nariz – A Mayan Site of Spiritual Importance

I held out until the last moment, but the time finally came for me to tackle La Nariz. Nariz is a site of spiritual importance for the Mayan people of the area surrounding Lake Atitlan. For over 1000 years, the top of this mountain has been used for rituals pertaining to the changing of seasons, harvests, etc. And it is one hell of a climb too.

Take a moment to view this slide show presentation of La Nariz, one of the most beautiful vantage points surrounding the lake.
