Jungle farm ride

The tour and the guide...

The tour and the guide was amazing. Gave us information about the culture and environment. Would do this again if we make it back to the area

7:30am Jungle Farm trail Ride plus Xunantunich adventure

Horseback to Xunantunich

Booked a horse back tour to Xunantunich with St Leonard's Tours beginning of May. We had 5, 'sort of', done this before horse riders. Jose' was the lead and fitted us extremely well to our horses and their demeanor. They walked; we rode. They pointed out sights along our route to the ferry and then the site. They gave us a little history, stories of the animals, trees and birds. Once at the sight, similar info was given, what had occurred here, how it came to be in the condition now etc. Jose' had a working knowledge, not just a memorized scrip to follow. He was able to answer more probing questions too. All in all a highlight of our Belize trip. Jose' and his group were fun, entertaining and we highly recommend this tour.

Horseback Ride to Xunantunich Maya Ruins

horseback ride to the ruins

Beautiful trail ride through the countryside and along the river. Then, we could spend time at the ruins exploring. The guide was amazing and knowledgeable for the horse and explaining about the ruins. The horses were lovely and behaved. It was an adventure!
