Experience the rich history and cultural heritage of Belize with this captivating Combo Tour that takes you to two of the most significant Mayan archaeological sites in the Cayo District — Xunantunich and Cahal Pech.
 

Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the rolling hills of western Belize to the ancient city of Xunantunich, located near the Guatemalan border. You’ll cross the hand-cranked ferry over the Mopan River before arriving at the site, where majestic temples rise above the lush rainforest. Explore the site’s expansive plazas and ceremonial centers, and climb the awe-inspiring El Castillo, standing 130 feet tall, for a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding jungle and distant Maya Mountains.

Your knowledgeable guide from Rob’s Belize Cultural Tours will bring the ancient world to life, sharing fascinating stories about Maya society, architecture, and the site’s historical importance.

Next, journey to the nearby Cahal Pech Archaeological Site, perched on a hill overlooking San Ignacio Town. Believed to be one of the oldest Maya settlements in Belize, Cahal Pech offers a more intimate and immersive experience. Walk among its temples, palaces, and residential courtyards that once served as the royal acropolis for an elite Maya family. The site’s name, meaning “Place of Ticks,” contrasts with its peaceful atmosphere and the rich cultural legacy it preserves.
