| The trail east to Nohol Pilar crosses an ancient platform, past quarries, and into the corozal again. Watch out for the corozo holes, treacherous remains of dead corozo palms. Termite nests are also visible along the trail. Walk quietly in this area and expect to encounter animals as well as their tracks. We regularly see deer in this zone. |

| As the trail weaves up to Plaza Copal, note the parapets marking the 30 meter wide promenade of the Bryan & Murphy Causeway. | |
| The last 30 meters of the trail climbs 12 meters to Plaza Copal. It is with relief you see the resting champa constructed by Raleigh International under the El Pilar Program supervision. |
|
| You are now at Plaza Copal on the Nohol Trail. After your welcome rest, go left and south to Plaza Duende and begin the Nohol Trail. | |
