Belize Native Tours

Board a 19 century hand –cranked ferry which will take you across the Mopan River to the Maya Ruin of Xunantunich which sits just inside the western border of the Belize and Guatemala. The ruin is actually located on one of the highest plateaus in the area and it is possible to climb to the top “El Castillo”, the largest of the temples at this site. From this vantage point, one gains a panoramic view of the Cayo District and nearby Guatemala.

Next we continue to Barton creek Cave in Amish territory. Equipped with canoes/kayaks and high- powered lights we gently paddle into xibalba, Maya for underworld. Stalactites and Stalagmites hang high overhead as we float past impressive calcite crystals. Your guide will discuss the use of this cave by Maya, while some artifacts can be seen high above the alcoves.
