    We learned about the rich culture the fun way. We went to Caracol, Rio Frio, and Pools on Rio and each location had its own beauty, charm, and enjoyment factor. Andy did a fantastic job of imparting his knowledge of Belizean and Mayan culture and nature. We even learned some slang and some Mayan words. Great job Andy!

  • An excellent tour to see Caracol and take a dip in the water pools. Request Andy…

    For starters, Andy arrived on time with an excellent vehicle. The van ran well, was very comfortable, and the AC functioned well. This made the drive to and from Caracol a pleasant experience. Andy gave us ample time to see the ruins. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional. On the way back to San Ignacio we stopped at the water pools for a refreshing dip. I’m glad we did this tour and would highly recommend it!!

    Went on a full-day tour to Caracol, Rio Frio Cave, and Pools on Rio. Andy (our guide) was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the Mayan temple, lots of really cool info, and great explanations of each level of the site, the finds, and uses of each structure. He even took us down a side path to a chamber where the royal advisors were housed. Then he provided really good detail about the astronomical complex and where the sun appeared on the equinoxes and solstices. The rio frio cave is really cool to visit - an open ended cave where you can see the stalagmites and stalactites being formed. Rio on pools was a great place to chill in the running water, and we were able to enjoy our time while Andy watched the stuff we didn’t want to bring near the water. Overall a great trip - would absolutely use these guys again for any tour or transport.

    I visited Caracol with friends, and it was a wonderful experience. We traveled with Kungo Belize, and everything was well organized. The guide was friendly, and the trip was comfortable. Caracol is a beautiful place full of history, and I enjoyed learning about the Mayan sites. It was a memorable day. I would definitely recommend Kungo Belize to anyone.

    I had an excellent experience visiting Caracol and the Rio On Pools The Maya site is impressive and full of history, and the views from the temples are amazing. The drive was long but totally worth it. Rio On Pools was relaxing, with clear water and beautiful rocks perfect for cooling off after exploring. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, which made the trip even better. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Belize who enjoys nature, culture, and adventure.

  • A perfect day at Caracol Archeological Site and Rio on Pools.

    I visited the Caracol Archaeological Site in October 2025, and it was an unforgettable experience. The tour was incredibly well organized, and our tour guide was amazing—very knowledgeable and clear when explaining the background history of the site. Learning about the ancient Maya civilization while walking through such an impressive place made the experience even more meaningful. After exploring Caracol, we enjoyed a delicious lunch on site and then headed to the Rio On Pools, where we relaxed and enjoyed the rest of the evening surrounded by nature. Overall, it was a perfect mix of history, culture, and relaxation. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Belize!
