Butterfly Adventure
The Green Hills Butterfly Ranch raises about 30 different native species that you will experience in a large flight area.

The 250-acre ranch has a multitude of flora and fauna but some of the easiest to enjoy are the hummingbirds. You'll see a number of the 7 species zipping around the many feeders at the shady viewing station. And as an added bonus the mission of the ranch is that of conservation so you'll be participating in a good cause.

Actun Tunichil Muknal
Taking a journey into the Mayan underworld at Actun Tunichil Muknal, or the “Cave of the Stone Sepulchre”, will be one of the most enlightening, epic, and unique experiences of your life. Leave the world of the living behind as you venture into the heart of the ATM Cave. The ATM cave is not only geologically beautiful with its crystalline stalactites and stalagmites, but also historically as it is a natural museum of ancient Mayan artifacts and a sacred burial place. This is known as the final resting place of the “Crystal Maiden”, who is believed to be an ancient Mayan Ceremonial victim along with 13 other skeletal remains which include men, women and children.

Xunantunich Ruins
The ruins of Xunantunich (the “Xu” is pronounced like “shoe”) is one of Belize’s most popular Mayan archeological sites. It is a scenic 2-hour drive (about 80 miles west of Belize City), near the town of San Ignacio and the border with Guatemala. Xunantunich is most famously known for the second tallest temple in Belize: “El Castillo” (“The Castle”). Today, visitors approach the site by crossing over the Mopan River on a hand-operated ferry and then climb up to the limestone ridge that serves as the foundation for the city.

Lamanai Ruins
Lamanai is a remote Mayan site located on 958.5 lush acres of rain forest. Reaching the site is an adventure in itself. After 1.5 hour's drive north from Belize City, guests board a boat for a 45 minute jungle cruise. On the way, you’ll see giant iguanas, crocodiles sunning themselves and many species of birds on the banks of this tropical river – and that’s before you reach the spectacular ruins!
​
The site is located on the banks of the New River Lagoon. Lamanai is the Maya word for "submerged crocodile." The site's name - "Lamanay" or "Lamayna" was recorded by Franciscan missionaries in the seventeenth century. It is one of the only sites retaining its original name and is among one of Belize's largest ceremonial centres. The name Lamanai helps to explain the numerous crocodile motifs at the site. Crocodile effigies appear on figurines, vessel decorations, and on the large headdress on a limestone mask at one of the principal structures at the site.
