Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

"The ride to Xunantunich is pleasant and scenic, including the crossing of the Mopan river by a hand-churned ferry.  Just a little further on are the well known Mayan ruins of Xunantunich.  Also, if it’s a lucky day, you will be able to experience an up close encounter with howler monkeys.

The Xunantunich ride has a duration 1 ½ hours of riding to the site and approximately 2 hours hiking of the site, and an additional 2 hours ride back.  This is a half day to a full day ride depending on the request of the guest.  Lunch stops can be included to a feast of local dishes in a pristine setting along the river. Please indicate in the booking form if you would like lunch included."
