Embark on a journey to explore the fascinating world of the ancient Maya. This tour takes you from Placencia to the legendary city of Xunantunich, one of Belize’s most iconic archaeological sites. Rising high above the landscape, its massive pyramid, El Castillo, remains the second tallest structure in Belize, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding jungles, villages, and even across the border into Guatemala. Built over a thousand years ago, Xunantunich still stands as a testament to Maya ingenuity and culture.

After exploring Xunantunich, the adventure continues with a visit to Cahal Pech, a smaller yet equally captivating Maya site perched on a hill overlooking San Ignacio. Known for its courtyards, plazas, and royal palaces, Cahal Pech offers a more intimate glimpse into Maya daily life and history. Together, these two sites provide a remarkable contrast, giving you a deeper understanding of Belize’s rich cultural heritage.
