Description
Discover Xunantunich, one of Belize’s most iconic Maya archaeological sites, nestled on a scenic ridge above the Mopan River near the Guatemalan border. Known as the “Maiden of the Rock” or “Stone Woman,” this ancient city offers a fascinating glimpse into Classic Maya civilization. Explore its most impressive landmarks, including El Castillo—one of the tallest structures in Belize—Structure A1, and the ceremonial Maya ball court. A must-visit for history lovers and adventurers alike, Xunantunich ranks among the top 10 Maya sites in Belize. Start with a half-hour guided hike through the verdant Belizean rainforest, uncovering the rich flora and fauna that thrive in this ecosystem. The hike concludes with a delightful tubing journey down the cool, clear waters of the Cave Branch River, providing a refreshing escape from the tropical heat. Embark on a tube float equipped with life vests and helmets. Prioritizing safety, this adventure takes you through what the Maya revered as the underworld, Xibalba, or the “Place of Fear,” akin to their concept of hell. After this tour, you can claim that you’ve been to hell and back. For thrill-seekers, this one-hour zip line tour offers an adrenaline-pumping experience as you glide through the pristine rainforest canopy. The highlight is the largest zip line in the area, stretching 1,000 feet in length and soaring 140 feet above the forest floor, offering breathtaking views and a rush unlike any other.Includes
