Today I've been to visit the site of Xunantunich, pronounced shoo-nan-too-nitsh, which means 'Stone Maiden'. It is located not far away from San Ignacio and it was really, really nice. The only problem has been when the people from a cruise arrived to visit this site but it was still worthy.
This site is from the Classic Era (around 200 to 900 AD) and there is a beautiful pyramids known as 'El Castillo'. From the top of 'El Castillo' (yes, you can climb on it), you have a beautiful view of the whole valley.
Besides thanks to the proximity of the forest, I have seen some spider monkeys and hear some howler monkeys.
I hope you'll enjoy the pictures.
