Xunantunich Ruins from San Pedro
Explore the ancient Mayan ruins at Xunantunich.
Your fantastic day trip to Belize starts early from San Pedro. From the island, you will be transferred to Belize City via your chosen transportation option.
After arriving, your guide will pick you up and drive you to San Ignacio Town. Here you'll cross the Mopan River from the village of San Jose Succotz by a quaint, hand-cranked ferry. This ferry, part of the Western Highway across the river, will take you to the base of the Xunantunich archaeological site.
Don't miss the opportunity to climb to the top of El Castillo which provides a panoramic view of the Cayo District and nearby Guatemala. Intricate carvings of this limestone structure depict ancient Mayan gods and rituals.
After your in-depth exploration of the Xunantunich ruins, you can unwind with a picnic lunch amidst the ruins before heading back to San Pedro.
