See Xunantunich, the hilltop Maya city near the Guatemala border, on a day trip from San Pedro. Take an early water taxi or local flight to Belize City, where your driver-guide meets you and heads west through Belmopan into Cayo. A hand-cranked ferry carries you across the Mopan River to the site.
Your guide covers the plazas, the temples and the carved frieze on El Castillo, which stands about 130 feet tall and has wide views when climbing is open. It's a long day with a lot of road time, so it's best for travelers who put Maya history first. If you'd rather have a shorter mainland day, Altun Ha is closer. We plan your return around your boat or flight. Book online and send us your connection details.
