Kick off your tour with pickup at your Belize City hotel, where you’ll board an air-conditioned coach destined for the atmospheric ruins of Xunantunich. During the 2.5-hour journey to Xunantunich, your guide provides history-rich commentary designed to enhance your understanding of the Mayan archeological site, which dates back 200 AD.
After taking a hand-cranked ferry across the Mopan River, you’ll arrive at the archeological site and take a guided tour. Capture photographs from the top of El Castillo, a 40-meter (130-foot) temple from which the Guatemalan border can be seen.
Then, after you revitalize with lunch, you’ll hike through exotic rainforest to a network of caves and climb into an inflated inner tube.
