Itinerário

Entrada incluída180 min

Xunantunich é uma das maravilhas encontradas em Belize. Este sítio arqueológico fica apenas a 15 minutos de carro da bela cidade de San Ignacio. A palavra Xunantunich deriva da língua maia de Yucatec, que significa "Mulher de Pedra". O centro de Xunantunich fica em uma cordilheira de pedra calcária artificialmente nivelada, que fica quase 183 metros acima do nível do mar. O epicentro consiste em quatro grandes grupos arquitetônicos. O grupo mais proeminente é o grupo A, que é dominado por uma estrutura A6 de 40 metros, conhecida como "El Castillo". Essa estrutura maciça é um grande edifício multi-complexo que serviu de santuário de moradias e centro administrativo para os governantes de elite do centro. Os primeiros colonos podem ter estabelecido uma pequena vila no local durante o período pré-clássico médio (600-300 aC). A cidade antiga ganhou destaque e declinou entre AD.700-1000. Este passeio permitirá que os hóspedes caminhem pela antiga cidade maia. Ele os educará sobre a história e a cultura da civilização antiga. Xunantunich é uma cidade que foi descoberta pela primeira vez em 1800, no entanto, os principais projetos de escavação ocorreram até 1991-1997. Então, como o convidado chegará ao site? Simples! eles serão apanhados no local de estadia e transportados para a cidade maia. Antes de chegar ao local, o hóspede cruzará uma balsa com manivela através do rio Mopan. Aqui, a observação de iguanas verdes e morcegos pode ser feita na margem do rio.

Entrada incluída120 min

Cahal Pech está localizado na colina imponente com vista para as cidades gêmeas do distrito de Cayo, San Ignacio e Santa Elena. O nome do site significa "Local dos carrapatos" no idioma maia de Yucatec. Investigações arqueológicas indicam que Cahal Pech foi colonizado entre 1200-1000 aC e abandonado por volta de 800-900 dC. O centro de Cahal Pech consiste em 34 estruturas compactadas em uma pequena área que cobre pouco mais de 2 acres. A maioria das estruturas está localizada em sete pátios. Isso inclui pirâmides altas de templo e vários edifícios ou palácios do tipo de gama. O templo mais alto é a estrutura A1, com 77 pés de altura. O site também possui duas quadras de bola, uma estela esculpida e um altar. Os visitantes entram no local como fizeram os colonos antigos, através de um grande pátio conhecido como Plaza B.

Private Tour to Maya Sites Xunantunich and Cahal Pech

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!

Excellent Tour Guide, Interesting Ruins, Exciting Climb

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.

Great tour

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.

Highly recommend!

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!

Great guides for the Cayo District, Birding and Mayan Sites

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.

Fantastic, knowledgeable tour guides and drivers!

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.

Brilliant guide on a spectacular tour!

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!
