Horseback Riding - We will leave Windy Hill Resort and ride rainforest trails, open savannas, and cross small subsistence farms to the un-excavated site of Buena Vista. This is believed to have been the private estate of a Maya king, K'ul Ahau K'ak Til (Lord Smoking Squirrel). After exploring the site, we will ride down to the Mopan River for a refreshing swim. You might want to wear your bathing suit under your clothes. We suggest long pants and closed-toe shoes for the ride. The tour requires about 4 hours and is available in the morning or in the afternoon.
Barton Creek Cave Canoeing - Barton Creek Cave was an ancient Maya Indian burial site. The cave is only accessible by canoe. The formations of stalactites and stalagmites are beautiful. The trip to the cave is very scenic and passes through the Barton Creek Mennonite community. You will get a glimpse of the Mennonites as they go about their daily routines. After the cave canoe trip, you will want to take a swim in the crystal clear Barton Creek. The cave is about 1 hour from San Ignacio and the tour requires about 5 hours.
Jaguar Paw Cave Tubing - Learn about the local flora and fauna as your guide leads you on a 30-40 minute hike along the Caves Branch River to the Jaguar Paw cave systems. When you get to the water, you will strap on your headlight and your life vest and take a seat in your tube. You will be propelled by the gentle currents through underground caverns carved through the mountains. Your guide will educate you about the natural formations found in the cave and the flora and fauna you encounter along the way. This is an awesome trip and something you will always remember. The cave is about a 1 hour drive from San Ignacio and the tour requires about 5 - 6 hours.
El Pilar Ruin EL PILAR - This site is located partially in Belize and partially in Guatemala. The Belize/Guatemala border runs through the site. El Pilar dates back to 250 B.C. Much looting of the site has taken place and the damage to the site is extensive. Dr. Anabel Ford of the University of California, Santa Barbara, has been working at the site for many years. Her dream is to transform the area and the ruins into a Maya community with Mayas living and working there as they did 2000 years ago. El Pilar is also one of the great birding areas of Belize. The 30-40 minute drive from San Ignacio is very scenic. The tour requires about 3-4 hours.
