About this tour
Start your morning on a working family farm in Belize with a 1.5–2 hour guided horseback ride through riverside and jungle trails, then transition to Xunantunich Maya ruins for an expert-led exploration of this hilltop ceremonial center. The 3–5 hour outing accommodates riders of all skill levels and keeps groups small (max 10 people). You'll depart early from San Ignacio Town, returning by mid-afternoon.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the farm before dawn light softens into morning, then spend nearly two hours in the saddle across open pasture and shaded jungle sections paralleling the river. The pace is leisurely—horses are steady and accustomed to mixed-ability groups. Afterward, cool off in the vehicle during a short drive to Xunantunich, perched on a hilltop overlooking the Macal River valley. Your guide will walk you through the site's layout, explaining ceremonial uses and construction methods before you explore the structures at your own pace.
Good to know
Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants; bring a hat and sunscreen. Weight limit is 260 pounds per rider. Moderate fitness required—the ride itself is gentle, but early mornings demand an early start. Meals and drinks beyond water are not provided. At booking, supply your San Ignacio hotel details.
