San Ignacio has been the highlight of our stay in Belize. We had an excellent hotel in a town with book shops, a cinema, numeous good restaurants and best of all it felt very safe and we could walk around in the dark. On Saturday we visited the French bakery, the market and met our guide David who took us in his limousine(!) to see the wonders of Caracol the largest Mayan site in Belize. The journey was over rough terrain taking three hours to get there. Part of the way with armed guards as escorts because we were near the Guatemalan border.
We climbed to the top of Caana which is 43m in height (tricky coming down) and had a fabulous view from the top. The site covers 88 sq kilometres but only 10% has been excavated and we explored the area for several hours. It was a most memorable day helped by our guide.
