Take a day trip up to the Guatemalan border on an excursion from Placencia to Xunantunich, a premier Mayan archaeological site. Trips here focus on the 131-foot-high (40-meter-high) El Castillo pyramid, which provides views over the Mopan River and the surrounding jungle, with most tours also providing round-trip transportation (including the hand-cranked ferry crossing to reach the site). Once there, you’ll see the intricate stucco friezes and the expansive plazas of the ancient ceremonial center. These tours also tend to incorporate a traditional Belizean lunch and a visit to the nearby Cahal Pech ruins.
