and a chance to cool off in the cool waters of the Rio On Pools. Box lunch

Morning departure from your hotel and take short drive to Succotz Village where you will board a 19th century hand-cranked ferry which takes you across the Mopan River. The Maya ruins of Xunantunich are actually located on one of the highest plateaus in the area and it is possible to climb to the top of "El Castillo", the largest of the temples at this site. From this vantage point one gains a panaramic view of the Cayo District and nearby Guatemala, and breath-taking scenery of untouched jungles. After tour and return ferry crossing we embark on short drive to your lunch venue where you will enjoy delicious Belizean cuisine. Following lunch we head to the Panti Maya Medicinal Trails where your guide will point out plants and herbs still used by Belizeans for medicinal purposes. Return to hotel by mid-afternoon.
