Xunantunich Ruins, Belize

Just outside of San Ignacio, there are some pretty cool ruins at the Xunantunich site.  You have to take a ferry across the Mopan river that's operated by a hand crank which admittedly was almost as big a draw as checking out the ruins.

The ruins were great and we probably would have had the place to ourselves if it hadn't been for a few shuttle buses worth of people coming in from cruise ships docked in Belize City.  

The ruins boast some pretty cool friezes, great views, and a small ball court. Overall, it's an impressive, easy stop if you're already in San Ignacio.
