Day 5 Cayo District
Today, you will take the Xunantunch and Barton Creek Caves Tour. Full-Day Private Xunantunich Maya Temples and Barton Creek Caves by Canoe: Xunantunich sits just inside the Western border of Belize to Guatemala. Before reaching the entrance of this ancient city, your party will board a 19th century hand-cranked ferry which takes you across the Mopan River. From this vantage point, one gains a panoramic view of the Cayo District and Guatemala. Next, we continue to Barton Creek Cave in Amish territory. Equipped with canoes and high-powered lights we gently paddle into Xibalba (she-bal-ba). As you glide through the cave system you will be dazzled by the glistening crystalline rock formations and awed by the Mayan artifacts secretly tucked away in overhead alcoves.
