The ancient Mayan city of Nakum is worth visiting, so we present some views of the temples and palaces here.
Posted Feb. 27, 2019
FLAAR focuses on high resolution and innovative photography of archaeology, plants, and animals of Mesoamerica. We have experience all around the world but our center of interest is the Mayan civilization. The Parque Nacional Yaxha Nakum Naranjo asked if we could bring our equipment and our team to the park to take better photos so that people around the world could see what the park offers. Plus of course we all wish to document the Mayan heritage with innovative photography.
Paulo Nunez and Juan Pablo Fumagalli spent the day doing panorama photography in the Acropolis and plazas of Nakum while the rest of the team hiked to an undocumented savanna eco-system many hours away.

We are looking at one of the Osmo systems to see if they can do multiple rows.
The GigaPan can do a dozen rows, but that company went bankrupt in 2013 plus the camera is very heavy and the system does not itself do the stitching. But the GigaPan does offer significantly higher resolution since you can use a DSLR camera.
We will be bringing you pano photos of the pyramids, plazas, and acropolises of Yaxha during March, so please come back to visit this web site.
Later in the summer we will coordinate with archaeologist Vilma Fialko and architect Raul Noriega to do pano photography of their excavations and restorations at the monumental Mayan city of Naranjo (the eastern part of the Yaxha park). We will also do immersive panos of the remarkable corozo palm forest surrounding Naranjo ruins plus an awesome bajo-like area about 2 km long by almost 1 km wide which is a 20 minute hike from Naranjo center.
Parque Nacional Yaxha Nakum Naranjo is administrated by capable teams of IDAEH and CONAP.
