Dean, our driver, was very knowledgeable about the surrounding countryside, Belizean history and geography. He was excellent!!
Our tour guide at Xunantunich, Juniour, was an absolute treasure. He had been involved in archeological digs before and his knowledge of the site and surrounding areas was amazing. He took the time to explain everything to us, including the surrounding plant and wildlife. Junior absolutely made the trip a one of a kind experience.
If you are able to request Dean and Junior as your transportation and guide you won't regret it.
The site itself is beautiful and will take your breath away. When you visit the ruins please take care of them for our future generations.
