Itinerario
Xunantunich è una delle meraviglie trovate in Belize. Questo sito archeologico è a soli 15 minuti di auto dalla bellissima città di San Ignacio. La parola Xunantunich deriva dalla lingua Maya di Yucatec che significa "Donna di pietra". Il centro di Xunantunich si trova su una cresta calcarea livellata artificialmente che si trova a quasi 183 metri sul livello del mare. L'epicentro è costituito da quattro grandi gruppi architettonici. Il gruppo più importante è il gruppo A, che è dominato da una struttura A6 di 40 metri, nota come "El Castillo". Questa imponente struttura è un grande edificio multi-complesso che fungeva da santuario delle abitazioni e centro amministrativo per i sovrani d'élite del centro. I primi coloni potrebbero aver creato un piccolo villaggio nel sito durante il pre-classico medio (600-300 a.C.). L'antica città salì alla ribalta e declinò tra il 700-1000 d.C. Questo tour consentirà agli ospiti di passeggiare all'interno e nell'antica città Maya. Li istruirà sulla storia e la cultura dell'antica civiltà. Xunantunich è una città che è stata scoperta per la prima volta nel 1800, tuttavia, importanti progetti di scavo hanno avuto luogo fino al 1991-1997. quindi come faranno gli ospiti ad accedere al sito? Semplice! saranno prelevati nel loro luogo di soggiorno e saranno trasportati nella città Maya. Prima di raggiungere il sito, l'ospite attraverserà un traghetto a manovella attraverso il fiume Mopan. Qui, l'osservazione di iguane verdi e pipistrelli può essere effettuata sulla riva del fiume.
Cahal Pech si trova sull'imponente collina che domina le città gemelle del distretto di Cayo, San Ignacio e Santa Elena. Il nome del sito significa "Luogo di zecche" nella lingua Maya dello Yucatec. Indagini archeologiche indicano che Cahal Pech fu fondata per la prima volta tra il 1200-1000 a.C. e abbandonata intorno all'800-900 d.C. Il centro di Cahal Pech è costituito da 34 strutture compattate in una piccola area che copre poco più di 2 acri. La maggior parte delle strutture sono situate in sette cortili. Ciò include alte piramidi di templi e diversi edifici o palazzi di vario tipo. Il tempio più alto è la struttura A1 alta 77 piedi. Il sito ha anche due campi da ballo, uno stelea scolpito e un altare. I visitatori entrano nel sito come facevano gli antichi coloni, attraverso un ampio cortile noto come Plaza B.

Darwin picked us up promptly at 8 AM from our hotel and kicked off our day with a drive to Xunantunich. His deep knowledge of Mayan history was impressive, and he shared a wealth of fascinating facts with us. We had the luxury of exploring the site at our own pace, and since we arrived early, we had the entire place to ourselves, making for some incredible photos! Afterward, Darwin took us to Cahal Pech, where he continued to enrich our understanding of the ancient Mayans. Both sites were absolutely captivating, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at each. For lunch, Darwin gave us a selection of local restaurant recommendations, and we opted for Benny’s Kitchen. The Belizean food there was fantastic. By 2 PM, Darwin had us back at our hotel, and we left feeling like we’d learned so much in just one day. We highly recommend both Mayan sites to anyone visiting Belize!
This was a fantastic trip for our family of four with 2 teenagers. Our guide, Agusto, was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout. If you desire to climb to the top of Xunantunich, it will require some effort and it is not for the faint of heart, as there are no railings, but the view is fantastic! Would highly recommend this activity and CMA Tours.
Excellent guide. Been to many Mayan ruins before but we learned a lot from Augusto. Stopped for lunch at Benny's where we tried all three appetizers. Try the soursop juice if they have it.
We did a wonderful private tour to Xunantunich and Cahal Pech and would highly recommend CMATours! It was very easy to coordinate the details with Wilton by email ahead of our trip, and the team was very flexible in accommodating our requests to slightly customize the itinerary. We had the pleasure of spending the day with Agusto as our guide / driver; he was very knowledgeable about both sites and we had a wonderful half day tour. Highly recommend this excellent family-run business!
Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with CMATours! It is always a pleasure to hear that our guests had a great time during their private tours. We are delighted to know that you found our team, particularly Wilton and Agusto, to be accommodating and knowledgeable about the sites you visited.
We had a great experience with CMA Tours as our tour guides in the Cayo District. This was our first trip to Belize, and we found the guides at CMA Tours to be excellent, with a thorough knowledge of the area, the wildlife and the Mayan sites. If you are birders, or interested in the Mayan sites or local history, these folks are great guides. In addition to being our tour guides at the sites, they provided comfortable transportation to and from the airport area and daily transportation to our preferred locations. We found their detailed descriptions of the sites, the birds, and other wildlife to be very interesting and enjoyable. I would highly recommend them for anyone traveling to Cayo District of Belize.
Dear William, Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with Classic Maya Adventure Tours (CMA Tours). We are thrilled to hear that our tour guides were able to provide you with an excellent experience in the Cayo District Belize. It is wonderful to know that you found our guides to be knowledgeable, especially with regards to the Mayan sites, wildlife, and local history. Thank you for highly recommending our services to anyone traveling to Belize. We are grateful for your kind words and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.
Hard to pick a favorite, but it all started when Damian picked us up from the airport. We immediately felt as ease and the drive to the resort was the beginning of our education about Belize and it's culture and environment, as Damian was knowledgeable and easy to chat with. We later did several tours (Xunatunich, the butterfly sanctuary and Saturday market with Agusto), Barton Creek with Damian again, and a shuttle ride to the coast with Wilton. All were engaging, friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in sharing their knowledge of the Mayan culture, the area and country as a whole. We learned so much and are grateful to all three for sharing their knowledge and importantly, their friendship. Your trip to Belize would be missing out if you don't do a tour with Cma Tours or get them as a driver. We already have plans to return and do more tours with Damien, Agusto or Wilton.
We’ll be more than happy to welcome you back to Belize. Thank you for the wonderful review and for choosing CMATours. I’m sure Damian, Wilton and Agusto will be glad to join you on Tour once more.
This tour to Xunantunich and Cahal Pech was way above my expectations. CMA is a family owned company with Mayan guides. Brothers Damian and Agusto Ixtecoc and Damian's son Wilton are the senior guides with the CMA. We have a new friend in Damian, who took us on this tour, as well as being our chauffer to and from the airport and on guiding several other private excursions throughout the week. The best part of the tour was Damian's passion for the Mayan culture. His extensive knowledge and fun way of communicating it was exceptional. He made the temples come alive with the vivid descriptions of life during their heyday. The ability to put the structures into the context of those ancient times is such a gift. I own a boutique travel agency specializing in unique, personalized experiences which incorporate the heartbeat of the region. Classic May Adventure Tours checks all my boxes. They are professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and passionate about their role in sharing the Mayan culture and the beautiful country of Belize with their guests. This was a familiarization tour for us, and we will be back with our guests. See you soon CMA team!
We are happy to hear that we've met your expectations. Damian was more than pleased that he got an opportunity to share his knowledge with you. We appreciate your positive review and we will be happy to welcome you back to Belize.
Classic Maya Adventure Tours is a great touring company. It is family owned and managed. All guides are knowledgeable and experienced. Their ease with English makes for great communication. Their friendly willingness to answer questions about the culture and area is wonderful. I strongly recommend you contact them if you travel to Belize and want help getting to know the country.
Thank you for the wonderful review and for taking the time to share your feedback with CMATours. Our priority is customer service and we are ecstatic that we met that mark! We are happy to hear that you had a positive experience with CMATours. We look forward to serving you again. Best, CMATours
