Thank you! Becan is definitely larger and it has at least one higher pyramid; we climb done in Rio Bec, to, but it wasn’t extremely high. The draw of this site is its remoteness, and the fact that it is still in the jungle, unexcavated. if you prefer the excavated sites, where you can see all the structures, Becan and Xpujil are definitely the ones to visit. And if you are in the area, but only have two days, I would start with Calakmul; it is much larger than any of the other ones in the area, it has two of the highest pyramids, and you even have plenty of jungle paths, and opportunities to see wildlife. Although you’d have to spend a full day in Calakmul, including getting there. I would recommend Becan next, and Xpujil. But if you have a half a day left, you shoudl consider Rio Bec. Hope this helps.
