This Classic Period site provides an impressive view of the entire river valley. The site core occupies only 300 square meters but the periphery covers several square kilometers. El Castillo, the partially excavated and largest pyramid rises 130 feet above the main plaza and offers an impressive view of the Cayo District and nearby Guatemala.
The Xunantunich Ruins is located in Succotz across the Mopan River. A tour highlight is the ascent to the top of the main temple, El Castillo. Stand atop the second tallest structure in Belize for panoramic views over the Belizean jungle and beyond into Guatemala.
