Xunantunich and Belize Zoo
Xunantunich and Belize Zoo adventure begins as you head for the wildlife habitat known as The Belize Zoo.
The zoo was created as a sanctuary for the country’s indigenous species and is now home to an impressive array of large cats, primates, reptiles and birds.
A visit to the zoo gives you the opportunity to see Belize’s amazing wildlife in one location. The adventure continues with a scenic drive up the Western Highway to the Cayo District.
Xunantunich sits just on the Western border of Belize. 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.
The ruins 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 panoramic view of the Cayo District and nearby Guatemala.
