Great Mayan Ruins by San Ignacio, Belize: Xunantunich | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

On the topic of Xunantunich, and Ka'ana, there are a couple of great new travel reviews about them.  The honeymooners actually tried to walk to Xunantunich from Ka'ana, by the way.  Yes, a cab did save them.  They really enjoyed their guide, and their time in Cayo.

 

"Let me tell you: This guide was well worth $20.  He knew everything, and was professional, patient, and interesting.  In addition to his knowledge, he also displayed such love and reverence for Xunantunich (despite having led the tour hundreds or even thousands of times) that it inspired us.  Again and again we are impressed by the caliber of the Belizean tourist industry and its people.  Our guide even explained to us about the misinterpretation that had led us to hike along the highway for miles: 'The people told you the ruins were close by because they wanted to make you feel better.'"
