Ixlu

The turnoff for the road heading to Belize is known as “El Cruce.” Just 200 kilometers off the road are the ruins of Ixlu on the shores of Laguna Salpeten. There are small mounds, trails and a few stones but little else to see. During the excavation, they found a Mayan altar that you can see now at the central park in Flores. Ixlu is a good place to rest and enjoy the nature after a long drive.
