Depart for a day of Mayan historical adventure to see one of the finest Maya Ruins in Belize.
Xunantunich Mayan ruin, also known as the “Maiden of the Rock” is the second tallest Mayan ruin in Belize. The largest pyramid, El Castillo stands 130 feet high above the main plaza and offers an impressive panoramic view of the Cayo District, Guatemala, and the Mopan River. The site has been largely excavated and has a well-appointed educational museum.
Experience an authentic Belizean lunch in the immediate area of the ruins.
Now we make our way to Cave Tubing @ St. Herman's Cave. This is a combination of cave exploration and cave tubing to explore this incredible river cave system. Imagine the excitement as you drift downriver, your body tucked in an inflated inner tube, your fingers trailing in the crisp clear river and up head is the vine-draped opening of mysterious cave.

Explore the ancient Mayan center of Xunantunich and soak up the history of this fascinating area with your licensed guide. Marvel at the perfect architecture of El Castillo, one of the three largest Maya Temples of Belize, and the largest structure on this site standing 130 feet above plaza level, with several inner chambers; move through other temples and courtyards where once Kings, Queens and their elite carried out special ceremonies honoring mayan gods
St. Herman's Cave
The tour starts with a 10 minute walk through the jungle as you get an informative talk on cave archaeology and the geology of the Maya Mountains. You then get to spend about two hours inside the cave system. Enter the exciting world of rivers disappearing into the “underworld” as you float on inner tubes with only your head lamp to light your way.

5.00The ruins were very interesting and one of our favorite excursions on this trip. The cave tubing was a nice cool down for the end of the day.

5.00Our driver brought us to both activities where local guides took over. All the guides were well-informed & did a great job explaining things to us & keeping us safe. You learn about Mayan culture both at the ruins, where the Mayans tried to be closer to heaven and the cave, which they considered a portal to the underworld. Both are beautiful & otherworldly in their own way, provided unique experiences and some exercise (which made up for a very long drive).
Such A Great Experience
