Brenda the plant you showed us is sold in the US as an “Air Fern”! Here’s a question; while you were walking through Pelenque we could see water catchment basins. Could you have swum in them or was it prohibited?

[@SailingVesselAdventurer]

Hi Harold! Unfortunately, swimming was prohibited. The water catchment pools are part of what's called the Queen's Bath, and as the name imply's, it was for the Queen's bathing. There was a system in place for making steam baths, a sewer system, and pressurized water in the palaces. Pretty impressive for a couple of thousand years ago!
