Things To Do
Xunantunich Mayan Ruins
Arguably the most iconic Mayan ruins in Belize, Xunantunich is just a 30 minute trip from Sweet Songs Jungle Lodge. The ruins are accessible by car (including a hand-cranked river ferry ride!) or via tour. Check out TripAdvisor below.
Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) Cave Tour
For the true adventure seeker, an ATM cave tour is an all day excursion. Accessible only with a registered tour company, the tour features a trek through the jungle followed by a swim up a tropical spring fed river. The true reward is cave access to in tact Mayan artifacts and 'The Crystal Maiden', crystalized remains of a ceremonial victim. Check with your local accommodations or TripAdvisor below for tours from San Ignacio.
River Tubing and Canoeing
Enjoy the tranquility of the Macal River on tube or canoe. Often included with stay, check with any of the lodges listed on our 'Travel' page for access and rentals.
Green Hills Butterfly Ranch
Green Hills' main attraction is an enclosed butterfly house that showcases some of Belize's most beautiful native species. In addition to butterflies, you'll be able to enjoy a variety of hummingbirds up close at the feeders, as well as 250 acres of walking trails full of incredible jungle flora and fauna. Check out their website for hours and information.
