Xunantunich Mayan Ruins – Half-Day Tour

The Xunantunich Archaeological Site is a fantastic place where you may spend a day filled with Maya archaeology and nature. Xunantunich is a Maya city that existed in the classic period from 200-900 A.D. and reached an occupation of approximately 10,000 people. This site is very close to the border with Guatemala and when you climb to the top of the largest building of the site you will be able to observe from the heights all of Xunantunich and see the Guatemalan territory in the distance. This is an experience you simply must not miss.

We will pick you up at your hotel lobby in the Mountain Pine Rdige. Our journey will last approximately 90 minutes. You will delight in both the journey and the scenery. Prepare for a day filled with knowledge, adventure, and the natural world by unwinding in your seat. You'll adore it!

In the Yucatec Maya language, the name Xunantunich translates to "Stone Lady." This term derives from a tradition that claims that a woman wearing nothing but black materializes in the largest structure of the archaeological site known as El Castillo, ascends the stairs, and vanishes behind its walls. Leaving the myths aside, this archaeological site was very significant during the Classic Maya period (200–900 A.D.), and it is estimated that more than 10,000 people lived there at one time. The property comprises more than 25 temples and palaces surrounding 6 plazas. It is 2.6 square kilometers in size. To go to Xunantunich, which is close to the Guatemalan border, we'll take a ferry across the Mopan River, which has long been significant. Additionally, you will have the chance to ascend to the top of the El Castillo structure, from which point you will enjoy a bird's-eye view of the entire archaeological site and a portion of the neighboring country of Guatemala.

We'll take you back to your hotel after a day filled with experiences so you can rest. You'll have a blast today, we can guarantee it.
