More on our Belize vacation
Thanks to Bryan at our Sleeping Giant Belize on our second day in Belize hubby and I took a tour to the Mayan Ruins.. The tour was with Caves Branch to the Mayan Ruins called Xunantunich and Cahal Pech.
Above are some shots of the Xunantunich Mayan Ruins. At 130 feet high these ruins are the second tallest in Belize and located above the Mopan River . The name Xunantunich means stone woman. This site served as a civic ceremonial center. At the time 200,000 people lived in Belize.

A closeup of the top of the Xunantunich Mayan Ruins.
A Spider Monkey was seen hanging in one of the trees at the ruins.
The Cahal Pech Mayan Ruins sits above the banks of the Macal River and is located near the town of San Ignacio. The meaning of the name Cahal Pech is the Place of the Ticks. It was a hilltop home of an elite Mayan family. Also included with the ruins photos are the Iguana, Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher lifer and a Golden-fronted Woodpecker lifer.
To reach the Mayan ruins our tour took us on this ferry ride across the river.
The ferry ride gave me ample time to snap off a few pic's of this Green Kingfisher..
Some critters from around the ruins..the Spider Monkey, a Brown Jay lifer, Green Kingfisher, Swallows, ferry ride. Our tour guide also made a stop at a local restaurant in town for lunch..I had a yummy burrito.
In the far left are some local crafts tents set up for shopping located near the ferry to cross the river. It was a nice tour and we had a great guide and driver.. I would highly recommend Caves Branch Adventure Co for a tour in Belize.
Thanks for stopping by and for the comments.
