The tour is really fun! The horseback riding part is in a beautiful farm. The farm has woods, river, some Mayan ruins, and some parts of grassland with a gorgeous view. Very nice combination with Xunantunich.

Our guide who drove us and came along for the horseback riding, Selwyn, was super friendly and very accommodating! The trail ride through the jungle was wonderful! The horses knew exactly what to do when it came to navigating muddy parts, slick rocks, and climbing steep hills. Be sure to bring your bug spray. I picked off a couple ticks from the bottom of my pant legs.
Afterwards, Selwyn set up a picnic table lunch with homemade food prepared by local single mothers (chicken, beans/rice, rum punch, cole slaw, fried plantains, and chips/salsa). Everything was delicious! There are several local vendors where we picnicking, so if you're looking for a souvenir to buy, it's super convenient to stop by during lunch.
We went to Xunantunich ruins after eating. Our tour guide Allyson was incredibly knowledgeable! He showed us how to climb up El Castillo and helped us take awesome photos.
We had the best time all day and were so impressed!

Very educational tour of Xunantunich followed by a fun ride with the horses to a small remote ruin. The guides and the men at the stable were so welcoming and attentive to us! The horses were beautiful, and the ride was short and easy. The lunch after was lovely!

We did the horse back riding and xunantunich tour with Edgar. Edgar was so nice and informative, knew everything there was to know about the Belize rain forest and Mayan culture. We started off the day by horse back riding through trails in the jungle. We saw small Mayan ruins, both excavated and not. Edgar then took us to xunantunich which was great. Again he answered our million questions and we ended with lunch. Even in the rain, he went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day!
