This is a VIRTUAL box. You may be able to find the clue answers on line, but you'll surely find them if you visit Lamanai the next time you visit Belize.

Many cruise ships take visitors on a small boat trip up the New River to visit the wonderful Mayan ruins at Lamanai. If you have the chance, take advantage of a tour. Fascinating site.
To solve the puzzle and get to the photo stamp, choose the correct answers to the six questions below. It is possible to do this puzzle using online sources and some logical thinking, if you can't make a trip to Belize.
For each question alter the base word LAMANAI as directed. You must make the changes in order. Eventually you will come up with a new word, which is your passkey. Add the passkey word to the URL at the end of the clues to get a virtual stamp for your logbook (print it out and paste it in).
Please post your find on LbNA, as there is no actual box with a logbook and we'd love to know how many people have followed our clues.
