Xunantunich Ruins & Belize Zoo
Your tour begins with an enjoyable boat ride that takes you several miles inland by way of scenic Olde Belize River. Enroute you may see iguanas, several varieties of birds, crocodiles and troops of Howler Monkeys. At Burrell Boom, a quaint settlement on the river bank, you will be served a tasty local lunch with refreshments at The Olde River Tavern located on the bank of the Olde Belize River. You then board your tour bus and drive to Altun Ha (Maya for “Rock Stone Water”), where the famous Jade Head of “Kinich Ahau” was uncovered by Dr. David Pendergast of the Royal Ontario Museum. Altun Ha was once a major trading center linking the Maya on the Caribbean with the Central American mainland Maya .
