Step back into the ancient Maya world on a private tour to Xunantunich—one of the strongest, most dominant Maya cities in Mesoamerica, thriving until 750 A.D., and the very first excavated Maya site in Belize!

Travel in cool, air-conditioned comfort as your dedicated local guide shares stories of Belizean culture along the scenic countryside drive. Cross the Mopan River by hand-cranked ferry to explore 6 magnificent plazas and 26 ancient temples at your own pace. Climb to the top of "El Castillo"—the second-tallest man-made structure in Belize—for unforgettable views stretching across the jungle canopy and into neighboring Guatemala.

Afterward, enjoy a delicious, authentic Belizean lunch and stop by the famous Belize Sign Monument for memorable photos before a smooth return to your hotel, airport, or cruise port.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is surely a must do while in Belize.
