Itinerário
Este passeio inclui uma visita a duas das mais incríveis atrações de Belize, as ruínas da antiga cidade maia de Xunantunich e as águas de safira do Inland Blue Hole. Ruínas Maias Xunantunich Uma das maiores cidades maias antigas já construídas, Xunantunich está localizada a aproximadamente 70 milhas (110 km) a oeste da cidade de Belize. Construído em um cume com vista para o rio Mopan, Xunantunich já foi o lar de quase 100.000 pessoas. O nome original do site é desconhecido, mas seu nome moderno deriva de um termo maia que significa "Stone Woman". Primeiro redescoberto em 1892, muitos visitantes do site relataram ter visto uma mulher fantasmagórica que teria assombrado a estrutura conhecida como " El Castillo ”(O Castelo). Ainda a segunda maior estrutura feita pelo homem no país, El Castillo mede 130 pés (40 metros) de altura. Construído como uma pirâmide do templo, El Castillo está localizado no centro exato da cidade. Hoje, Xunantunich está localizado a aproximadamente uma milha da fronteira guatemalteca. Durante seu auge durante o período clássico da civilização maia (por volta de 600-700 dC), Xunanutinch competiu com cidades próximas, incluindo Naranjo, Caracol e Tikal (que fica a poucos quilômetros da fronteira com a Guatemala). O Buraco Azul Interior Para não ser confundido com o Blue Hole que fica no recife ao largo da costa, o Inland Blue Hole está localizado no Blue Hole National Park de St. Herman, perto da capital de Belize, Belmopan. Primeiro designado para um parque nacional em 1986, o St. Herman's é administrado pela Belize Audobon Society, uma vez que fica no meio de uma das áreas mais ecologicamente diversificadas do país. Mais de 200 espécies de aves foram registradas na área, incluindo o trepadeira-de-bordo-vermelho e o papa-moscas-pirata. Há também uma ampla seleção de animais selvagens no parque, incluindo três espécies de grandes felinos.

Edgar was engaging, informative, and accommodating. His forensic archeology degree and family background with Mayan archeology added an unexpected perspective. Edgar went out of his way, quite literally, both to search for mangoes and also to include an additional Mayan site in the tour.
