Xunantunich Maya Site & Chocolate Tour Experience

Experience the perfect blend of ancient history and rich local culture on this full-day tour from your San Ignacio hotel to Xunantunich and the Ajaw Chocolate experience.

Begin your day with a visit to Xunantunich, where you’ll cross the river on a traditional hand-cranked ferry before exploring this impressive hilltop Maya city. Your guide will take you through temples and plazas, including El Castillo, one of the tallest structures in Belize, offering stunning views of the surrounding jungle and nearby Guatemala.

Next, immerse yourself in Belize’s chocolate-making traditions with a hands-on visit to Ajaw Chocolate. Learn how the ancient Maya crafted chocolate from cacao beans and take part in the traditional process—from roasting to grinding—ending with a delicious tasting.

Enjoy a tasty included lunch during the day before returning to your hotel.
