Your day begins in the saddle, swaying down jungle trails in the Stann Creek foothills where the forest closes in, green and humming around you. Your horse knows the way through the ... moredappled light, past strangler figs and the calls of oropendolas overhead, while your guide points out medicinal plants the Maya have used for centuries. The pace is unhurried, the air thick with the smell of wet earth and wild ginger, and by the time you dismount, your legs are pleasantly tired and your senses wide awake.

Then the world goes cool and quiet. You wade into a turquoise river, settle into an inner tube, and let the current carry you into a limestone cave the ancient Maya believed was an entrance to Xibalba, the underworld. Headlamps catch glittering stalactites and chambers where ceremonial fires once burned. The only sounds are dripping water, the soft splash of your paddle-hands, and your guide's voice echoing the stories carried down through generations.

You emerge blinking into the green afternoon, sun-warmed and quietly amazed at what you just floated through. A lunch caps the day before the easy ride back to the peninsula, your boots muddy, your camera full, and your sense of Belize a little wilder than it was this morning.

A must-visit, even when on the shortest stays in our beautiful country. Xunantunich is a national treasure that fills its visitors with a sense of time travel. If that isn’t appealing ... moreenough, how about saddling up a horse and riding into the shadow of this Mayan temple? You’ll depart from your Placencia accommodation for a three-hour drive to the stable site in San Ignacio. Once here, you’ll be given a basic safety and orientation briefing. Our horses are well-trained, and our guide will lead the way as you ride the well-maintained trails and the winding path along the Mopan River that runs through the village of San Jose Succotz. You're hit with how green and lush everything is. Some visitors might get to see a group of women doing laundry in the river while their children swim nearby.

Local souvenirs, hammocks, and blankets are available from the many vendors waiting alongside the River where you board the hand-cranked ferry that has carried many thousands to and from the calm beauty of this Maya Temple. Here, you’ll dismount your horse and the journey to Xunantunich begins on the other bank of the river.

Xunantunich is very well-kept and offers many opportunities for amazing selfies and group photos. The views from atop the castle are stupendous and go on for miles. Its wide-open spaces have provided a lovely backdrop for proposals and weddings and have served as a location for a few films and telenovelas. The temples are nestled in between lush rainforests whose trees may bloom vibrant red, yellow, orange, or pink in season. Bring along a hat, sunscreen, and insect repellent, along with an open heart to experience simplicity and visit another world for a few hours.

Gratuity is not included in the price.
