Cahal Pech ruin-Classic periodWe are off on our first adventure to the Mayan ruins Xunantunich and Cahal Pech close to the Guatamala border. It was a beautiful trip through the Mayan Mts. on the Hummingbird Highway, We drove through the winding streets of St. Ignatio, a busy town that seemed like one big farmer's market or Chicago's Maxwell Street. We stopped for lunch at a great little local arts and crafts shop with gorgeous wood and woven items. Nothing touristy, just beautiful local goods. We then crossed a river via a hand cranked ferry boat and saw our first iguana sunning on a nearby tree. Drove to Cahal Pech to tour a small pre-classic (1000 B.C. to 800 A.D.)ruin. This site has the second oldest Mayan structure in the world. It is now inhabited by bats and one VERY large spider. Next we drove on to Xunantunich, a much larger ruin with restored stucco friezes. This was a ceremonial center for the Mayans and we all climbed up to the top of El Castillo for the grand view. Our Guide, Pedro, made sure we were steeped in Mayan folklore. Great Day!
Jessica was wonderful! She made every effort to ensure our trip was just what we wanted.

Erin was easy to work with and very helpful. She was patient and helped us figure out the adventure tour we were hoping for in Belize. Can’t wait to go on this trip!

I've worked with Adventure Life before in planning trips and appreciate the quality of trips they put together. They use knowledgeable local guides, comfortable lodgings, and assist with transportation. I find trip planning stressful, so am happy to turn it over to them. They work within our parameters of time, budget, activity level, and types of activities to give us great experiences!

Jess was so helpful in talking me through some of the trip options I'd told her I was interested in, and then also bringing up similar alternatives with more flexible dates. Now that everything is booked I realize all the extra things she figured out for us as well, besides booking the transfers from and to each location, she realized that we wouldn't make it to my desired flight time on three departure date and was able to easily add another day so that even our departure day is stress free!
