Located on the island of St. George’s Caye, Belize, Casa Al Mar invites you to explore the wonders of this Caribbean paradise. Amidst pristine sandbars and turquoise waters, our vacation home offers relaxation and the opportunity to explore Belize’s rich heritage and vibrant wildlife through our inland Belize tour.
Unveiling History: Xunantunich Maya Site
Xunantunich derives from the Yucatec Maya language, meaning “Stone Woman.” The site is situated off the George Price Highway, 80 miles west of Belize City. Accessed by a hand-cranked ferry across the river from San Jose Succotz village, it sits less than 1.5 kilometers (1 mile) from the rapids of the Mopan River.
While at Xuantunich, the most thrilling experience is climbing to the top of El Castillo, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Cayo and the Guatemalan border. Furthermore, you can explore the temple, courtyard, and plazas while your knowledgeable guide highlights Maya culture, lifestyle, and history. Let the whispers of the wind through the site transport you to an ancient era where myths and legends intertwine with reality.
Wildlife Encounter: Belize Zoo
After immersing yourself in Mayan history, journey through Belize’s vibrant biodiversity at the Belize Zoo. This unique sanctuary provides an up-close encounter with the country’s wildlife. Additionally, it is dedicated to conserving and providing a home for native species. Stroll through lush pathways, encountering jaguars, tapirs, and scarlet macaws amidst tropical foliage. Each animal has its own story and conservation efforts shared by dedicated staff. At the Belize Zoo, it’s not just observation; it’s a connection, fostering a newfound appreciation for nature and wildlife.
