Hey christiki,
I've been to both chichenitza and tikal. Tikal is less touristy (because it's in guatemala) and absolutely amazing. (if you're a starwars geek like me, climb the pyramid and look out at the jungle and it may look just like the hidden rebel base on yavin 4...)
Both are amazing and (when I went in '92) allowed you climb just about anywhere.
Belize is a beautiful country, one that I will return to very soon. I stayed both in the jungle and in san pedro cay. the barrier reef is the secodn largest in the world and is an amazing diving/snorkling destination. The life in san pedro cay is relaxed, to say the least. Everyone is super friendly, the water is crystal clear and the food is excellent.
Al - those are some great ruins, I'd also recommend Uxmal in Mexico and Copan in Honduras. You have to love going to an archeological site where more than half of the ruins have not been excavated and look just like steep hills in the middle of a jungle...truly an amazing experience.
Go to Belize, christiki. It is a hidden paradise...
Enjoy
