Seven kilometres west from San Antonio, towards the village of Santa Cruz , are the ruins of Uxbenka , a small Maya site, superbly positioned on an exposed hilltop with great views towards the coast. As you climb the hill before the village you'll be able to make out the shape of two tree-covered mounds and a plaza, and there are several badly eroded stelae protected by thatched shelters. Trucks and buses continue 13km further west to Jalacte , at the Guatemalan border, used regularly as a crossing point by nationals of both countries, though it's not currently a legal entry or exit point for tourists.
