The drive to San Ignaco. Went through several villages on the way to San Ignacio. Hill country. Mark was my guide. Very knowledgeable.
The hand cranked ferry across the river was a hoot.
The temple site was the largest i have seen while in Belize. 130 ft high.
Ate lunch at a nice hilltop resort with a great view of San Ignacio Chal Pech resort.
I quickly downed 2 bottles of Belikin strout. Excellent beer.
Mark bought some water. There is a short uphill hike to the ruin so be prepared for the heat and humifity.
The trip takes 2.5 hrs including the ferry and a short drive to the site.
Most pictures show the temple side with the large carvings, north side.
When you walk in you view the eastern side. You can walk up stairs to view the carvings. Be sure to walk to the right side of the temple or you can easily miss them.
Lots of fires in Belize, Honduras, and Guatamala. Very smokey. Only saw the sun and blue sky 4 if 13 days i was in Belize.
