Xunantunixh was featured on Green Globe Travel. History lesson of the day.
"Xunantunich is located on top of a ridge above the Mopan River, about 80 miles west of Belize City in the Cayo District. You have to take a short ride (50-60 feet) on a hand-cranked ferry across the river to get to the site, which is located just one kilometer east of the Guatemalan border. There’s evidence to suggest the city was settled as early as the ceramic phase of the Preclassic period (around 1000 BC-400 AD). But it wasn’t until Xunantunich established a political connection with the nearby city of Naranjo sometime between 670 and 750 AD that it really began to grow."
