We thought about going to Tikal the next day on a tour with Caves branch (tour) but we decided we really didn’t want to be in a van for 5 hours each way. Instead we decided we would go see some of the local ruins. We left early and headed for San Ignacia where Xunantunich (Stone Lady) is located. We walked around learning about the different structures and hearing about the history of the city. The last stop of the tour was climbing the highest temple. The views were amazing. You could see all the way into Guatemala!

After looking around Xunantunich we headed for Cahal Pech. Cahal Pech was a smaller (less manpower) Mayan city but it was wealthier than Xunantunich. It is one of the few Mayan ruins where the roofs are still there and you are allowed in the rooms. Other Mayan sites have the roofs but you are not allowed inside.

Then it was off to lunch at Hode’s Place Bar & Grill. and from there back to Caves Branch.

Before dinner we stopped by the Blue hole. The water was so blue!

We had one more tour booked with Caves Branch. Check back to see which one it was!

Lots of Love,
