Start in the plaza of the main entryway which faces south. You will see a course of darker brick that forms a circle in the center of the plaza. From here follow the sound of falling water to your left. A set of steps follow the cascade downwards to the pool at the bottom. Past the bottom pool you will see seven large guardians of the treasure. Climb the stairs in the fourth guardian and find the last guardian at street level. Go inside the guardian and look out across the distance from the railing. Look down along past the railing and you will see vines climbing up on your right. The box is underneath the vines, attached by velcro to the wall.

Please replace the box on the velcro firmly when done.

Good hunting.
