This was just one of many highlights on our trip to Belize. I would suggest hiring a guide to broaden your experience here. If you're in good health, a hike to the top of the temple is a must for t…Full review by Dwnptrl

Me and my wife came here 17 years ago and didn't remember much. We decided to come back now, but this time with our two daughters who have just recently learned about the Mayan civilization in school…Full review by Shawn L

Our guide, Joseph, was recommended by Macaw Bank Lodge as the best—and they were totally right! So wonderfully knowledgeable, but also a terrific story teller. We totally enjoyed every minute we spe…Full review by Kati H

I didn't count the number of steps or stairs. But it's a lot. The structure itself is 130 feet tall. These steps are rocky and narrow in some parts. And the stairs to get to the top there are multiple areas because you have to go around the back as well.
What did Covid have to do with preventing further exploration. Thinking of going shortly

You can explore everything on your own - no restrictions except the top is blocked off no entry. If you hire the guide on the other side of river, they would have to ride in the vehicle with …
You can explore everything on your own - no restrictions except the top is blocked off no entry. If you hire the guide on the other side of river, they would have to ride in the vehicle with you uphill to the ruins or you would have to wait for them to walk up the hill and meet your group. That would mean you had to wait for them before going in and exploring on your own. The COVID restriction being the wait time (guide not in vehicle) and having someone outside your group in close contact (in vehicle). Time for exploring and risk not amount of exploring
We will be driving ourselves and I see on some posts this was done. Was is an easy drive...did you need to use a GPS? We will be driving from Belmopan. Very helpful to know you can get a tour guide at the Ruin.
A:
Its an easy drive, I’d suggest using GPS as its not on the main highway. There is a ferry that takes you across a river then you will drive another half mile to the entrance to the ruins.
Hi - we have a couple options for excursions from our cruise ship. If you could only do one, would you go to Chichen Itza or Xunantunich and why? I hear that you can no longer climb Chichen Itza. We were spoiled by seeing Machu Picchu last year. Thank you for your help!
A:
I can't compare it to Itza since I have not been there, but if you can't climb it, I would rule it out. Xunantunich can still be climbed and the pictures/videos I have from it are amazing. You …
