American Way magazine talks about this year's 'Road Warrior' winners in their latest article. Xunantunich makes a great backdrop in the promo picture. Cayo attractions get top billing in the story. Calico Jack's is where they go ziplining, Barton Creek for canoeing in a cave, and Ka'ana is where they stayed.
"Our 14th Annual Road Warrior Contest winners head to Belize for some life-changing adventure: zip-lining through the rain forest, climbing ancient Mayan ruins, swimming with sharks, and a whole lotta rum... Walking up the vibrant green hills of Xunantunich, tour guides Wolfgang, Brandon and Andy explain that the land was first used as a ceremonial site some 1,400 years ago, with 25 stone temples and plazas; even seating for spectators to watch warriors fight to the death. Navigating up the stairs of the tallest ruin at Xunantunich, El Castillo, Wolfgang says it was a multiuse facility for royalty and one of the first work sites in Belize. He runs his hand over stone slabs that were once piled high with animal fur for beds. A wide frieze of astrological signs, including the face of a jaguar (said to be the god of the underworld), mirrors the original markings here that have been excavated."
