Have you ever crossed a river by hand-cranked ferry to discover an ancient Maya city?
Before reaching the magnificent ruins of Xunantunich, visitors take a unique ride across the Mopan River on one of Belize’s last remaining hand-cranked ferries. Powered by the strength of the ferry operators, this short journey adds a special touch to the adventure.
Meaning “Stone Woman” in Maya, Xunantunich was once a thriving ceremonial center of the ancient Maya civilization. Home to the famous El Castillo temple, the site offers a glimpse into Belize’s rich history and the incredible achievements of the Maya people. #TravelBelize #Belize
