Altun Ha vs. Xunantunc

[lisajm]

Trying to decide which Mayan ruins are better. Has anyone been to both or know which would be better?

I've been to both and Xunantunich is the more interesting of the two.

Thanks 2112! I was thinking that when I was considering which one to chose. Your pictures are awesome! Lisa

I sneaked a peek over to your Tulum photos - they're awesome! We hope to get there next March.

I'll agree with Xunantunich. But many cruisers do enjoy the River Wallace boat ride portion of the excursion to Altin Ha over the long bus ride to Xunantunich.

 

Great pics...2112:)

Altun Ha if doing the River Wallace route. Much more interesting than the longer bus ride to Xunantunich. Possibility of seeing gators and other wildlife. It would be a struggle for them to climb up to the top of the temple at Xunantunich. Xunantunich's little hand cranked ferry across the river is kind of interesting but only a very short part of the tour.

I'd agree with that.
