Roam with us to the Mayan Ruins of Xunantunich in Belize!

We took an excursion from our cruise ship into Belize. We took a bus across the country to the Mayan ruins of Xunantunich ("Shoe-nan-two-nitch," more or less).

We took a long (but lovely and informative) bus ride, followed by an awesome tour through the ruins. Join us on our tour to learn about this Mayan civilization! Next, we stopped for lunch before hopping back on the bus.

Our tour guide was great, and we had an amazing time! She told us that Belize relies a lot on tourism, so I am not sure how they have fared during Covid. When you get a chance to travel, be sure to make time for Belize! Seeing Xunantunich on a screen cannot compare to being there in real life...hearing the bugs...seeing the monkeys and bats...feeling the sunshine...actually touching the history!

Not to mention how many calories you'll burn! smile

This was an awesome opportunity to step back over 1000 years in history! One of the most interesting things is that there are so many ruins that have yet to be excavated.
