Xunantunich tour
One of Belize’s most often-visited sites, the journey to Xunantunich begins with a mini-tour of Belize’s verdant landscape along the Hummingbird Highway that lands you at a vast city where pyramids, plazas and stelae tell tales of the once-great ceremonial center dominating the landscape. Climb to the summit of El Castillo, the ruin’s tallest point, for breathtaking aerial views of Belize and Guatemala. This full day tour includes lunch, transport, incidentals, a guide and all of the memories you can make.
Lubaantun and Nim Li Punit tours

Study mysterious stelae inscriptions before continuing on to Lubaantun, the largest ruin of its kind in southern Belize.
