2-laner Posted November 13, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 13, 2008 As much as I would love to go to Lamanai, and it is my first choice, I have decided I would feel better if I stayed with a ship excursion so getting back in time is not on my mind. So that leaves me with choosing Xumantunich or Altun Ha. They both sound wonderful, and I can't decide which one for myself and two kids - 11 and 13. What do you all think??? Guess I'm looking for personal favorites from you, and then see which one wins out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdowns9 Posted November 14, 2008 #2 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Here are my pics of Xunantunich, it is a long day but worth it. You have about 2hrs on site and can climb the main Castillo (125ft) but the climb is very easy compared to other climbs. http://wdowns9.smugmug.com/gallery/3434004_FSUYS#192547985_DBVXF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2-laner Posted November 14, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I love your pictures on Xunantunich. It looks very secluded and in a natural setting compared to other places that have a little bit of a manacured look. Do you think there will be less people going to this place as opposed to Altun Ha? It has been suggested that this trip is a little less 'fun' to get to since it is a longer bus ride and does not include a boat ride up the river to see wildlife, like Altun Ha. Personally, we prefer a little less crowd and more quiet nature. One more question. Can you climb anywhere on the ruins, or just select structures? I suggested to my kids when they were looking at your pictures with me, that I kind of think they might not want us on all of them so as to preserve them as much as possible.
