San Ignacio, BelizeLate this morning we drove up to the other Mayan ruin in San Ignacio: Cahal Pech. It lies right on the edge of town but feels equally magical as Xunantunich--and certainly has fewer tourists. We climbed to the top of the largest structure and marveled at our place in the tree tops. All throughout the site, trees are working hard to reclaim the site--which reminded me a great deal of Angkor Wat. Best of all were the many smaller rooms and maze-like passageways to explore. We stopped at the gift store on the way out for a few tiny mementos. Lovely place!
