Pictured below are scenes of the ascent to the top of Temple J-4 with the accompanying remains of structures. The center photo is the grave marker for Tatainia Proskouriakoff, interned there in 1984. One of the many awards she had received was the ORDER OF THE QUETSAL the highest award given to a foreigner by the Guatemalan Government.

The view of the Ususmacinta, in the lower left, is visible from the top of Temple J-4 adjacent to the Proskouriakoff burial.

From the top we made a nearly straight line descent to the beach,

through the jungle and passed more ruins.

At the beach we boarded the boats for the short trip to the confluence of Rio Busilha and on to Rancho Vallescondido our over night accommodations.
