Cần Quan Tâm
Xunantunich
Xunantunichi, pronounced 'Shoo - Nan - Tu - Nich', gets its name from a legendary folktale about the ghost of a woman who as locals have it inhabited the sacred grounds as far back as the late 1800’s. A classic period (300 – 900AD) ceremonial center located just a stone’s throw away from San Ignacio in the beautiful Maya village of San Jose Succotz, making this one of the most accessible Maya Temples in the area. Xunantunich boasts Belize’s second largest Maya structures named El Castillo (The Castle) standing 130 feet and offering an astonishing panoramic view of the Maya Mountains.

To get to the site one must cross the Mopan River by a hand cranked ferry, which then gives us access to the one mile ascent into one of Belize’s most popular sites. Here you will find yourself immersed in pristine jungle surroundings, home of howler monkeys, spider monkeys, birds and iguanas. While exploring along with your guide, you will learn about the history of this site and the Maya civilization that once inhabited it.

5.00An excellent experience led by Pedro, who was very knowledgeable, charming, and set a great pace. It's also worth noting that he has a very good Nike swoosh tattoo on his leg, which he has no regrets about. Thanks, Pedro! You're the best!
Great tour, would recommend!

5.00Do not skip this tour! Breathtakingly beautiful views of the ruins! Our guide was knowledgeable and highly recommend taking one. We would not have felt comfortable climbing to the top without one.
Great experience touring the ruins with a very knowledgable guide!

5.00Our driver picked us up at our hotel just a bit later than expected and we shared a comfortable van with about 7 other people. Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided us with great detail on the history of Xunantunich Mayan Ruins. The tour lasted about 3 hours as expected. Highly recommend going with a guide as you really appreciate the ruins much more than if you just walked around on your own as there was little signage.
Amazing Mayan Ruin Tour: Henry is the best!

5.00My kids and I absolutely LOVED this tour and our tour guide Henry! We were able to see all of the structures and climb several of them for gorgeous views of Belize and Guatemala. But, it was Henry who really made this an amazing experience. He was so knowledgeable and taught us so much about Mayans culture, how they lived and all about the building structures. Henry spoke English very fluently and answered all of our questions with extreme patience. Because my kids are pre-teens, it’s hard to find educational tours that engage and entertain them. But, Henry’s youth, enthusiasm and obvious intelligence about Mayan culture and the ruins really excited my kids about Mayan culture. They had the best time and couldn’t stop talking about the tour all night! We look forward to coming back and taking additional tours with Henry!

5.00Guide was very knowledgeable, but also picked up quickly on how much information we needed. He found the perfect balance of sharing information but not overwhelming us. In addition- He took many pictures of us, showed us birds, and the local trees. So awesome!!
