1000places > XUNANTUNICH, BELIZE - At the top of El Castillo, Jeanne was not prepared to move much closer to the edge than these stone pillars.
1000places > XUNANTUNICH, BELIZE - To get a better photograph of the structures below, Betty inched closer to the edge atop El Castillo.
1000places > XUNANTUNICH, BELIZE - This vantage point from the top of El Castillo provides a breathtaking, 360 degree, panoramic view over the jungle canopy of the Macal, Mopan and Belize River valleys, as well as a vast area of the Guatemalan Peten District, which is only a few miles away.
1000places > XUNANTUNICH, BELIZE - For those who make it to the top of El Castillo, the hilltop location provides a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding country.
1000places > XUNANTUNICH, BELIZE - Xunantunich consists of three ceremonial plazas enclosed by 25 house mounds, pyramids, and palaces. It is the longest established archaeological site in Belize. The first modern explorations of the site were conducted by Thomas Gann in 1894 and 1895. Several archaeological excavations have been conducted at the site since the 1930s.
1000places > XUNANTUNICH, BELIZE - El Castillo rises 130 feet above the main plaza. It was the tallest manmade structure in all of Belize until the discovery of "Canaa" at the Maya ruins of Caracol.
1000places > XUNANTUNICH, BELIZE - Although our itinerary showed our next stop to be a butterfly farm, we convinced our tour leader to divert our van to another Maya site - one we had also visited 10 years before. To reach Xunantunich, the van must be transported across the Mopan River on a hand-cranked ferry.
