Xunantunich
This tour includes a visit to two of the most incredible attractions in Belize, the ruins of the ancient Maya city of Xunantunich and the sapphire waters of the Inland Blue Hole. Xunantunich Maya Ruins One of the largest ancient Maya cities ever built, Xunantunich is located approximately 70 miles (110 km) west of Belize City. Constructed on a ridge overlooking the Mopan River, Xunantunich was once home to nearly 100,000 people. The original name of the site is unknown, but its modern name derives from a Maya term that means “Stone Woman.” First rediscovered in 1892, many visitors to the site reported seeing a ghostly woman who was reported to haunt the structure known as “El Castillo” (The Castle). Still the second-largest manmade structure in the country, El Castillo measures 130 feet (40 meters) tall. Built as a temple pyramid, El Castillo is located in the exact center of the town. Today, Xunantunich is located approximately one mile from the Guatemalan border. During its heyday during the Classic Period of the Maya civilization (around 600-700 AD), Xunanutinch competed with nearby cities, including Naranjo, Caracol, and Tikal (which lies just a few miles over the border in Guatemala). The Inland Blue Hole Not to be confused with the Blue Hole that lies on the offshore reef, the Inland Blue Hole is located in the St. Herman’s Blue Hole National Park near the capital of Belize, Belmopan. First designated a national park in 1986, St. Herman’s is managed by the Belize Audobon Society as it sits in the middle of one of the most ecologically diverse areas of the country. Over 200 species of birds have been recorded in the area, including the red-legged honeycreeper and the piratic flycatcher. There is also a wide selection of wildlife in the park, including three big cat species.

5.00Edgar gave us such a rich history of the mayan culture and history that I was amazed at the advancement of the mayan civilization. This tour was not only a nice hike up the ruins, but a rich lesson in history, cultural, and civilization of the mayan culture. If you enjoy history, anthropology, or cultural civilization lessons then you’ll enjoy this experience.
Edgar is the best!

5.00We had an incredible time on this tour. Our guide, Edgar, picked us up in Hopkins and was a consummate host from start to finish. He generously shared local history and stories, and made us feel genuinely well taken care of throughout the day. Xunantunich is truly awe-inspiring, and the Blue Hole was a perfect, refreshing stop along the way. An all-around gold star experience!
Awesome day!

5.00Edgar was an excellent guide. His depth and breadth of knowledge is impressive. Whether speaking about ancient Maya history or natural history, his ability to bring the landscape and history of Belize to life was fantastic. Edgar is full of energy and went above and beyond to craft a unique and exceptional day for us. And the combination of the Mayan temple tour with the cave tour was a really cool day combining very unique and different activities into a very full experience of Belize. Keep up the good work Edgar! 🙏
See Xunantunich with Edgar!

5.00Edgar was engaging, informative, and accommodating. His forensic archeology degree and family background with Mayan archeology added an unexpected perspective. Edgar went out of his way, quite literally, both to search for mangoes and also to include an additional Mayan site in the tour.
