Advantages: Adventure on the river Disadvantages: Sad feeling
Lamanai is in the North of Belize, an area which had been inhabited by the ancient Mayas and still retains a lot of its past.
It is possible to get there on a daily trip, or to spend the night there, although accomodation can eb a bit pricey. If you can afford it, though, I would recommend you spend the night there, since it is very athmospheric
Most tourists get there by river, and so did I. We managed to spot 1 crocodile on our trip.
Once we ... ...can visit the ruins at Lamanai only during the day. Our group was relatively small, only 6 of us, including a couple of German lesbians, I suppose, who felt particulalry out of place there.
Apart for the ancient ruins, what each tourist visit, including myself, is the Indian Church.
The strongest recallection I have of this trip, is the feeling that the ancient Maya culture must have been very mystic. I personally believe we cannot appreciate today ...
