Venture into Belize’s ancient past with a visit to Xunantunich, an awe-inspiring Maya archaeological site known as the “Maiden of the Rock.” Located in the western Cayo District near the Guatemalan border, this impressive site is home to El Castillo, a towering temple that rises 130 feet and rewards visitors with panoramic views of the surrounding jungle, the Mopan River, and even into Guatemala.

The journey to Xunantunich is as enriching as the destination itself. Travel along the scenic Hummingbird Highway through charming local villages, vibrant markets, and rolling hills. In the village of San Jose Succotz, cross the Mopan River via a traditional hand-cranked ferry before continuing uphill to explore ancient plazas, ceremonial structures, and intricate stone carvings that reveal the grandeur of Maya civilization.

This tour offers a perfect balance of natural beauty, cultural immersion, and historical discovery—an unforgettable experience for anyone eager to explore Belize’s rich heritage.
