jungle pontoon waterfall adventure

Your day of adventure beings as you leave San Ignacio Town. You will then board a hand-cranked ferry across the Mopan River, which flows in from neighboring Guatemala. Xunantunich ( Maiden of the Rock) reveals to be one of the earliest centers in the region pre-dating to around 1000 B.C. when it was still a growing village. It eventually flourished into one of the powerhouses of the region alongside Naranjo, 8 km due west of Xunantunich. This impressive monument you are able to see today, archaeological research dates it to the 7th century! Xunantunich's most recent discovery has actually revealed the largest Royal tomb in the country of Belize. Be amazed by how boldly “El Castillo” stands overlooking the rest of the complexes. Climb this spectacular structure which rises 40m (130 ft.). Xunantunich is one of the highest, and most famous man-made buildings in the country. When you stand on top of “El Castillo”, experience the same breathtaking view that the rulers once enjoyed. Get a small view of Guatemala and much of our Jewel "Belize" with a 360-degree panoramic view. After visiting this Beautiful Mayan site, you will then venture off the beaten path and deep into the Vaca Plateau forest reserve. A secret piece of paradise awaits you.
