See the ancient Mayan ruins in Belize and Guatemala, Tikal & Xunantunich, to develop a new appreciation for Central America’s rich past.
Come along with me on a video journey to see the ancient Mayan ruins of Belize and Guatemala: Tikal & Xunantunich! These two sites are as old as they are fascinating, each with their own rich history that offer a glimpse into the often-mysterious world of the Mayan people in Central America.
Central America is a hot seat for Mayan ruins, with several ancient cities throughout the ancient area of Mesoamerica, and no trip to Belize or Guatemala would be complete without a few stops to see some of these historic cities. The country of Belize and the neighboring country of Guatemala can be visited together to see the ruins of Xunantunich and Tikal.
Watch the video below to explore along with me, seeing the remains of what was once a great civilization—and you’ll be close to beaches, great food, and culture when you visit the Mayan ruins of Belize and Guatemala!
