Overview

As we embark on the Xunantunich tour, what sets it apart is the journey across the Mopan River, where we'll navigate using a hand-cranked ferry to reach the temples, a unique and adventurous start to our exploration.

Before immersing ourselves in the grandeur of the main temples, we'll visit a museum showcasing skeletal and pottery remains, providing a fascinating glimpse into the ancient civilisation. Scaling the towering El Castillo, the second highest Maya temple in Belize, promises an awe-inspiring experience, with its remarkable architecture offering panoramic vistas of the lush jungle and serene Mopan River below. This archaeological site not only boasts unparalleled historical significance but also serves as a vibrant tapestry of culture and wildlife, enriching our journey with every step.

After this amazing experience, visitors will hike back to the car park along with their tour guides.
