Hi everyone. I'll be on the Glory's western Caribbean itinerary in a few weeks, and I'd like to know which place is better to catch some ruins; the stop in Progreso or Belize? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

My daughter did both....at Belize they did the River Wallace and the Alta Ha ruins...and in Progresso they did Chica Itzan (IGNORE THE SPELLINGS!) ....and glad they did both.

One year I did the Uzmal ruins and they had a really neat lazer show at night while sitting in an outdoor arena at the ruins. It was a performance of the Mayan civilzation. I don't know if they still have it, but it was great.

My husband and I went on the River and Ruins tour in Belize last November. It was a lot of fun. The ruins in Belize are being rebuilt, so they are not in the "original" state. They do have one really tall pyramid that you can climb to the top of. It's really great if you don't mind climbing a steep, narrow stairway with no railing.

Regarding Belize, remember bug spray and sunscreen. I got eaten alive by the mosquitos. Have fun!
