In the final moments of the movie, the hero is exhausted from evading and doing a Rambo in the jungle on his former captives.

Down to the last two Mayans, all three of them come to a dead stop...noticing something off camera.

The camera pans around to see three Santa Maria-type ships anchored with a couple of small boats coming to shore filled with conquistadors and priests.

The two Mayans go to meet them and Jaquar Paw gets his family out of the well where they were hiding since the beginning of the movie and they disappear into the 'forest' to start their new beginning.

It was a wonderful film.

Even the goriest scenes were not gratuitous and actually too hollywoodish IMO.

For example, the Mayan Priest holds a disconnected human heart still beating in his hands, while the victim is still alive and cognizant looking up at him.

Now, I've heard a chicken can run around for seconds with no head, but I've never heard of a human blinking in amazement at somebody holding his DISCONNECTED HEART in his hands.
