Xunantunich: Climb El Castillo for Mayan Ruins & Jungle Views
★4.9(1463)
Cross the Mopan River on the hand-cranked ferry to start this hike. You can actually climb the 130-foot El Castillo temple, which offers an insane 360-degree look at the Guatemalan border and Belizean jungle. Avoid the midday heat; book a dawn tour to beat the tour bus crowds from Belize City. Spend two hours here, grab lunch in San Jose Succotz afterward, and skip the overpriced gift shops near the entrance. It is worth the sweat.
Address: Xunantunich Access Road, San Jose Succotz, Cayo District
