Xunantunich

If you're looking for an adventurous trek out to some Mayan ruins, Xunantunich is one of the best sites in Belize.  Getting there is half the fun, its best to drive yourself and it feels like you are truly venturing out into the Mayan jungle.

Here's an excerpt from a recent San Diego Reader article:

"If you’re driving, the turnoff to the park entrance is easy to pass by, as the highway is separated by the Mopan River that runs parallel to it. No bridge exists; the waterway must be navigated by a ferry that’s only large enough to transport one vehicle at a time. The water may be deep, but it’s not wide, and I must say I used all of my self control not to dive in and swim Indiana Jones–style to the other side."
